With strawberries on sale and Spring here to stay, I thought this was a fun way to celebrate a bit of warm weather.
Spanish for "fresh water," agua fresca is a refreshing, fruit-infused drink that is served throughout Mexico. Depending on the ripeness of the berries, adjust the amount of sugar for desired sweetness.
YIELD: 8 cups (serving size: 1 1/3 cups)
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 6 cups hulled strawberries
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
Preparation
Combine water and sugar, stirring until sugar dissolves. Place strawberries in a blender, and process until smooth. Combine the sugar mixture, strawberry puree, and juice; stir well.

The picture looks so refreshing! I've been making strawberry lemonade with our home grown lemons. 1 cup lemon juice, 4 cups water, 1 cup sugar, pureed strawberries and CHILL! So good!
