Aguas Frescas Recipe
Serves 1
Learn how to make aguas frescas! These refreshing drinks are easy to make with water, fresh fruit, lime juice, and a little sweetener. They're one of my favorite ways to cool off on a hot summer day!
Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped fresh fruit, such as watermelon, cantaloupe or other melon, mango, pineapple, strawberries or even cucumber
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons agave nectar or sugar, plus more to taste (I often add another teaspoon depending on the fruit)
- Ice, for serving
- Fresh fruit, for garnish, optional
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish, optional
Instructions
- In a blender, place the fruit, water, lime juice, and 2 teaspoons agave. Blend until smooth, then taste, adding more agave if desired.
- Set a fine mesh strainer over a large jar or medium bowl and pour the agua fresca through it to remove the fruit pulp.
- Pour into a glass with ice and garnish with fruit and mint leaves, if desired.
