Ingredients

Seeds from 1/2 vanilla bean, or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
1/2 cup
freshly squeezed lime juice 
2 1/2 cups coconut water or water
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons agave nectar or organic cane sugar, or to taste
Mint leaves and lime wedges (optional)

Instructions

If using the seeds of the vanilla bean, blend them well with the lime juice, coconut water, and agave nectar.
Otherwise, simply stir all of the ingredients well in a pitcher. Garnish the glasses with mint leaves and lime wedges, if desired.

Notes

For lemonade, replace limes with . . . you guessed it. . . . lemons. 
For lime-gingerade, add a 1/4- to 1/2-inch piece of fresh ginger—blend and strain before serving
For pink limeade, add a very small sliver of beet before blending. A little goes a long way with beets.
For lavender-rose limeade, add 1 teaspoon of lavender flowers and 1 tablespoon of rose water before
blending. Strain before serving.
