Notes
- The egg white creates a silky texture and foamy head; make sure to shake well to emulsify.
- You can substitute honey for agave nectar depending on your preference.
- Use fresh lemon and lime juice for the best flavor; bottled juices can affect the taste negatively.
- If concerned about raw egg whites, use pasteurized egg whites as a safe alternative.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of agave nectar or honey to your taste.
