WATERMELON
AGUA FRESCA
An agua fresca is a fresh and refreshing way to hydrate
during warmer days. Made with simple, natural ingredients,
it offers a healthy yet flavorful alternative to more sugary,
store-bought drinks.
Serves: 2
INGREDIENTS
F 2 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
F 1 tbsp lime juice
F 3/4 cup water
F 6 mint leaves
F 6 oz can of lime-flavored sparkling water
F 1/2 cup crushed ice
1.
Puree the cubed watermelon, plain water, and lime juice
in a blender.
2.
Optional: Strain the puree, removing the watermelon pulp.
If you don’t mind a thicker beverage, you may skip this step.
3.
Grab two tall glasses and place 1/4 cup of crushed ice in each.
4. Pour half of your watermelon juice and half a can
(3 oz) of lime-flavored sparkling water in each glass.
5.
Top it off with 2-3 fresh mint leaves for a subtle herbal aroma
and pop of color.
Prefer your beverages a little extra sweet?
You can add honey, agave, or simple syrup to taste.
