EQUIPMENT
- Blender
- Juicer
INGREDIENTS
- 4 cups watermelon (cubed or juiced)
- 1 lime (juiced)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 3 cups water (divided)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place the watermelon, lime juice, sugar and 1 cup of the water in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Strain the watermelon mixture into a pitcher and discard solids.
- Add the remaining water to the pitcher and stir to combine.
- Chill until ready to serve.
NOTES
-
For garnishes: if desired, dip the rims of the glasses into a bowl of water then place the glasses, rim side down, onto a plate of coarse sugar and rotate until rims are coated with sugar. Pour agua fresca into the sugar rimmed glasses and top with mint sprigs, lime slices and/or watermelon wedges.
- Running the watermelon through a juicer removes the need to strain the mixture before serving.
