Watermelon Agua Fresca
Agua fresca is a light non-alcoholic beverage popular in Mexico, Central America and parts of the Caribbean. They are made by blending fruit, flowers or seeds with water and sugar to create a refreshing and cool drink. Agua fresca makes a perfect alternative to the usual summer iced tea and lemonade.
When making Watermelon Agua fresca be sure to start off with a sweet, ripe watermelon. If your watermelon is sweet enough you can do without a sweetener altogether.
Ingredients
4 cups diced, watermelon with rind removed
2 1/4 cups cold water
3 tbsp lime juice
Sugar or other sweetener to taste (optional)
Preparation
Puree watermelon along with the other ingredients in a blender until smooth.
Pour into a pitcher (optionally you can pour through a strainer to remove most of the pulp) and refrigerate for 30 mins.
Garnish with sliced lemons or limes.
Yields: Four servings.
