Agua Fresca

Agua frescas (Spanish: water refreshments) are popular in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean and are made from fruits blended with sugar and water to make a non-alcoholic beverage. Due to the natural sweetness of watermelon, a minimal amount of additional sugar is required. Try substituting with honey or Stevia for a calorie cut!

• 1 cup finely chopped watermelon
• 7 cups coarsely chopped watermelon
• 6 cups watermelon juice
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large lime, juiced
• 1 serving of water (if needed)

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients in a large serving pitcher.
2. Garnish with watermelon wedges and mint.

Notes

Serving size will vary.
