Regular Taste And Syrups
Watermelon and Lime Agua Fresca
One of my favorite combinations to make is a watermelon and lime agua fresca, and it’s as refreshing and energizing as it sounds.
Ingreadient
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 12 cups cubed and seeded watermelon
- 2 cups water
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 lime, sliced
- 4 sprigs fresh mint
Direction
- To make the simple syrup, bring the water and sugar to a simmer in a small saucepan.
- Stir until the sugar is dissolved, then remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Working in batches, combine the watermelon and water in a blender and puree until smooth.
- At this point, I simply pour it into a pitcher as I like my agua fresca on the chunkier side, but if you prefer a pulpless juice, strain through a fine mesh sieve.
- Stir in the simple syrup, lime juice, lime slices, and mint.
- Refrigerate for a few hours to let the flavors intermingle, and serve chilled.
