Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse and hull the strawberries. Slice them in half to make them easier to blend.
In a blender, combine the strawberries, 2 cups of water, lime juice, and sugar. Blend on high speed until smooth and well combined.
Once blended, pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large pitcher to remove any pulp or seeds. Use a spoon to help stir and push the liquid through the strainer.
Add the remaining 2 cups of water to the pitcher and stir well to combine. Taste the agua fresca and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more sugar or sweetener, stirring until dissolved.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the strawberry agua fresca over the ice.
Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy this cooling, fruity beverage!
