Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole Fresh oranges
- 3 whole Fresh limes
- 2 whole Fresh lemons
- 4 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 8 cups Water
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 6 slices Citrus slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the oranges, limes, and lemons thoroughly under cold running water.
Cut the oranges, limes, and lemons in half and juice them using a citrus juicer or by hand. You should have approximately 1 1/2 cups of combined citrus juice.
Strain the citrus juice through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove seeds and pulp.
Add the granulated sugar to the pitcher and stir until it is completely dissolved.
Pour in 8 cups of water and mix well to combine. Taste the agua fresca and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if desired.
Refrigerate the pitcher for at least 30 minutes to chill and allow the flavors to meld, or serve immediately over ice if preferred.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the agua fresca over them.
Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves and citrus slices, if desired.
Serve cold and enjoy your Triple Citrus Agua Fresca!
