Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fruit

    Wash and peel the chosen fruit (if necessary), then cut it into small chunks. Measure out 4 cups of the fruit chunks.

  2. 2

    Blend the Mixture

    In a blender, combine the fruit chunks, 4 cups of water, and 1 cup of sugar. Blend until smooth, which should take about 30 seconds.

  3. 3

    Strain the Mixture

    Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the blended mixture into a large pitcher to remove pulp. Use a spatula to press down and extract as much liquid as possible.

  4. 4

    Add Lime Juice

    Stir in 1 tablespoon of lime juice to the strained liquid to enhance the flavor.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Pour the aguas frescas into glasses filled with ice. Garnish with mint leaves if desired.
