What is Agua Fresca?

Agua Fresca is fruit flavored water. Fresh fruit (and a bit of sweetener) is blended with water to create a refreshing drink that is flavorful and delicious. Think of it as a combination of fruit-infused water and a smoothie – it falls somewhere in between the two.

Agua Fresca an be made with any flavor of fruit: berries, watermelon, pineapple, cantaloupe, etc.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups (total) strawberries, blackberries and blueberries, I chop the strawberries before measuring
  • 4 cups Purified Water
  • 1 tablespoon honey, or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, or more to taste

Instructions

  • Place berries, 3 cups of water, honey and lemon juice in a blender, and process until smooth. Taste and add more honey and lemon, if desired. Stir in remaining 1 cup of water. Set a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl and pour the mixture through. Use a rubber spatula to lightly press on the solids. Discard the seeds. Refrigerate or serve immediately. I like to serve over ice, garnished with fresh berries, mint and/or lemon slices.

    This looks incredible! I agree that during the summer it is difficult to remember to drink enough water, especially on the go. I bet my kids wouldn’t have a problem with this!

      Yes, but you’ll need to thaw them first.
