Kiwi Fruit Agua Fresca

Kiwi fruit agua fresca, or agua de kiwi, delivers a silky, refreshing, sweet and tangy taste sensation you will love. It’s perfect for quenching your thirst on hot days or for serving at mealtimes.

📝 Ingredients

• 4 ripe kiwis**
• 4 cups cold water
• 2-3 tablespoons sugar or to taste
• Ice
• Mint leaves for garnish

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Wash the kiwis very well and with a sharp knife carefully cut off the two ends of each fruit, this will help you to have a better balance when peeling it.
2. 2Peel them with the potato peeler, cut them into quarters and transfer them to a blender.
3. 3Blend them with the sugar and water until all the ingredients are well integrated.
4. 4I add the necessary sugar to balance with the kiwi’s natural acidity and the dilution from the water; however, you can prepare it without sugar if you prefer or use another type of sweetener.
5. 5Taste for sweetness and adjust if necessary. Pour into a pitcher and serve in glasses over ice.
6. 6In my personal opinion, it’s not necessary to strain it, the kiwi seeds are tiny and the agua fresca offers a delightful texture, but if you want a smoother drink, you can pass it through a strainer.
7. 7You can also play with the texture, if you want it thinner add more water, if you are looking for a classic, thicker, smoothie texture, use less water. If you want kiwi juice, just add enough water to blend the fruit. It’s up to you.
