Watermelon Agua Fresca

This is a popular drink in Mexican restaurants and it’s so easy to make!  Use the fruit you enjoy the most, but here’s a hint – it’s super good with watermelon!  Try adding some mint leaves to your glass after you pour it.

Ingredients:

• 6 cups cold water
• 2-3 cups watermelon
• 1 tablespoon lime juice

Method:

1. Add the watermelon, lime juice, and water to a blender and puree completely.
2. Use a fine mesh strainer to strain the mixture into a pitcher.
3. Serve cold.

Stay cool this summer and protect yourself from dehydration and heat-related illnesses. If you’re out and about, take water with you in a bottle so you always have some within reach.  At home, keep some cool water in the fridge and avoid caffeinated beverages and alcohol which can dehydrate you.  We’re so glad you took the time to check out this recipe.  When you make this let us know what you think! We’d love to hear from you!
