Notes
Before you blend the pitahaya please make sure you taste it. The sweetness level will give you a better idea as to how much sugar you should use.You can also add more water to thin it out more, if you’d like. I like it more concentrated.
Variations
When using the white colored dragon fruit, some people like to add a little bit of beet juice or a small piece of beet to give it that bright pink color.You can omit the lime juice if desired.Instead of sugar you could use agave syrup.
