Agua Fresca de Fresa Mexicana

Ingredientes

• 1 lb fresh strawberries
• 1/4 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or another sweetener of your choice*)
• 6 cups of water (divided)
• Mint to garnish
• Ice

Preparación

1. 1

   Clean the strawberries, remove the stems, and transfer them to a blender.

2. 2

   Add the sugar and two cups of water and blend until smooth.

3. 3

   Tip: Blending the sugar with the strawberries is the easiest way to dissolve it.

4. 4

   Pour the strawberry mixture into a large pitcher. I usually don’t strain it, but if you would like to remove all the seeds for a velvety, fruity drink, use a fine mesh strainer.

5. 5

   Pour in the remaining 4 cups of water, stir, and adjust for sweetness.

6. 6

   Finally, place in the fridge until ready to serve, or enjoy immediately by pouring it over ice.
