Strawberry Agua Fresca
"From Cooking Light magazine. 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. Frozen strawberries would be fine in this. I like this with 2-3 times the water or seltzer water for a thinner drink. I also increase the sugar."

Thank you! Our strawberries are unpleasantly mushy this year and this was a great way to put them to use anyway. Didn't expect it to taste so ... fresh, but it is really yummy and really refreshing.

So refreshing! I used stevia instead of sugar and added a little extra lime because I like tartness. My boyfriend added rum to his :) I'll try this with other fruit as well! Thanks! -
Really good! I strained it a bit to remove most of the seeds and pulp.

I wanted something different than tea or water and I'm not big on real sweet things, so I did this with some fresh berry mix I had from the store. Strawberries mostly with a few bluberries and blackberries and kiwi. About 3/4 a cup, 2 tsp sugar, 1/2 cup water and a squeeze of lemon I had in the fridge. Blended over ice. It's delicious. -
very easy, very refreshing drink. First time I made it I used lime juice concertrate, I dont reccomend that and i decided I better try it the right way before reviewing. The trip to the market for a fresh lime is worth it, this is a tastey drink. I also threw in some ice for part of the water the second time around. The result was a sweet slightly slushlie drink, very nice, will try this again. Made for Bev tag

I'm not as active here anymore, but you can find me playing at the new recipezazz.com. I'm not a great photographer, but I love to take food photos with Freddy Cat to bring a smile to people's day. I love to cook and share good food with other people. I have a very large collection of cookbooks. I used to enjoy being able to look up recipes on Zaar by ingredients I had on hand. I miss the Zaar tag game community. Everyone was so nice, and it was super fun. Ah, the good ol' days.
