Now that we’re inspired by that beautiful watermelon, let’s dive into what we need to whip this up:
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of fresh watermelon, cubed
- 2 cups of cold water
- 2 tablespoons of lime juice (fresh is best)
- 2 tablespoons of sugar (adjust based on your sweet tooth)
- Ice cubes (for serving)
- Mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- First things first, chop that watermelon into cubes. You want about 4 cups. It’s best to use a ripe one to get all that sweet flavor.
- Next, toss the watermelon cubes into your blender. Add in cold water, lime juice, and sugar. Blend it all together until it’s smooth and refreshing.
- Once blended, taste your agua fresca. If you want it a little sweeter, go ahead and add more sugar to suit your taste. Blend it again if you decide to add more sweetener.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher to catch any pulp. This step is optional, but if you like it smooth, it’s a good idea!
- Refrigerate the agua fresca for at least 30 minutes to chill. Serve it over ice cubes in a glass and garnish with fresh mint leaves if you wish.
And there you go! A chillingly delightful Watermelon Agua Fresca that’s perfect for sipping on those hot days or serving at your next cookout. Enjoy this refreshing drink with friends and family—it brings everyone together!
