Agua de Sandia Recipe (Watermelon Agua Fresca)
Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 Medium-Sized Watermelon rind removed, and chopped
- Water to taste
- Sugar to taste
Instructions
-
Fill your blender to the fill line with watermelon chunks.
-
Add water to the fill line.
-
Pulverize that melon!
-
Strain through a fine mesh strainer into your serving container (to catch any extra seeds or pulp).
-
Continue until you have blended all the melon.
-
Take a quick taste of the juice (before you sweeten with any sugar). I usually don't add any more water at this point, but you can if you want.
-
Add sugar to taste, usually 1-2 cups.
Recipe Notes
Change it Up:
Add the juice of two fresh limes into the mix for a tangier version (or like mentioned, just serve wedges on the side for people to squeeze in their own limey deliciousness).
Add mint! A sprig for each glass will do. Or if you really want to make it more potent, grab a handful of mint leaves and pulverize with the melon. Mint and melon are a great combo! The color of the juice will not be quite as clear, but it's a fun way to mix it up.
