Ingredients
- 1 ripe cantaloupe
- 3 cups of cold water
- 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice (or more to taste)
- 2-4 tablespoons of sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Start by slicing the cantaloupe in half and removing the seeds. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh of the fruit and place it in a blender.
- Add the 3 cups of cold water to the blender with the cantaloupe. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add more water.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or a cheesecloth into a large pitcher to remove any pulp. Press the pulp gently to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Stir in the fresh lime juice and sugar. Taste the agua fresca and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar or more lime juice if needed.
- Chill the watermelon agua fresca in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. You can serve it over ice for an extra refreshing drink.
