In Mexico, the freshest fruit is often made into agua fresca or “fresh water.” Use what’s ripe and sweet ― popular choices are watermelon, strawberry, pineapple or mango, or even cucumber for a less sweet drink. Always taste and adjust the sweetness or add more lime to taste.
Ingredients
- 4 cups chopped fruit
- 3 cups water
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave, add more to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Preparation
- Place the chopped fruit, water and sweetener in a blender and blend. If desired, place a wire mesh strainer over a pitcher or large jar and strain the mixture. This is optional but makes a smoother drink.
- Taste the puree and add more sweetener if needed.
- Serve immediately over ice.
Serving Suggestions
Serve on a hot summer day when you need to be refreshed!
