Aguas Frescas

Watermelon



I love aguas frescas- fruity drink with usually made of watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries or pineapple. My favorite is watermelon. Here's how I make it! Mind you it's a recipe suggestion, so feel free to adjust as you like.

2 cups of watermelon*
4-6 cups of water*
1/2 cup sugar*
ice cubes

Blend the fruit, water and sugar in a blender until smooth. Chill or pour over ice!

**I have spearmint growing in my yard this year and I added some once. OMG! Delicious!

*use a seedless variety or leave the seeds- delicious either way.
*use more or less water depending on how juicy the watermelon is.
*add more or less sugar depending on how sweet your watermelon is.

I've also used strawberries, lemons, and limes in my mixture. Soooo good!
