Strawberry Agua Fresca
Welcome the weekend with a refreshing beverage that takes minutes to make and only has 3 ingredients. This is a good way to use up any strawberries that are very ripe.
Recipe
Servings: 6 people
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
1 pound strawberries, hulled and rinsed
6 cups water
1 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
Add the strawberries, water, and sugar into a large blender. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth. You may have to do this in batches if your blender isn't big enough.
Taste and blend in more sugar if desired. Strain the mixture into a pitcher to remove any seeds and pulp.
Serve immediately over ice or chill in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Garnish with lime wedges and mint sprigs if desired.
Recipe Notes
Storage: To store, place leftover agua de fresa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Pro Tips:
The sweetness of the drink will vary depending on the sweetness of the strawberries. For a less sweet agua fresca, only use half of the sugar or replace it completely with a different sweetener like honey or agave syrup.
You can add the juice of one lime for a citrus twist.
Garnish with mint leaves for an even more refreshing flavor.
