June 24, 2019

Agua fresca is a refreshing drink made from fresh fruit. Enjoy on a hot day, after exercise, on the beach, during happy hour, or whenever you like!

Serves: 4-6 (6 cups)

Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cup Naturipe Strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 3 cups filtered water, divided
  • 3 cups watermelon cubes
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons cane sugar
  • 4 Naturipe Strawberries, for garnish (optional)
  • 4 slices watermelon, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Combine strawberries and 1/2 cup water in a blender and blend until fruit is pureed and liquid is smooth. Place a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl and pour over the strawberry puree. Gently help work the puree through the strainer to remove the seeds and excess pulp (there should be about 1-2 teaspoons seeds and pulp remaining in strainer). Rinse out blender and discard pulp.
  2. Add strained strawberry liquid back into the blender. Add watermelon and remaining water and blend until fruit is pureed and liquid is smooth. Repeat straining process (there should be about 1 tablespoon seeds and pulp remaining in strainer). Rinse out blender and discard pulp.
  3. Add strained fruit liquid back into the blender. Add lime juice and sugar and blend to combine.
  4. To serve, pour agua fresca into 4-6 glasses over ice. Garnish with a fresh strawberry and watermelon slice, if desired.
