- If you prefer a smoother drink, you can strain the blended fruit to remove pulp and seeds. Otherwise, leave it as is for a thicker texture.
- Add the remaining water:
- Add the rest of the cold water and blend again. Taste for sweetness, and if needed, add sugar. Adjust to your liking.
- Add lime juice:
- For a refreshing tang, mix in some lime juice. This step is optional, but it’s very typical in La Michoacana-style aguas.
- Serve:
- Pour the agua de frutas into glasses over ice cubes.
- Garnish (optional):
- You can garnish with a slice of lime or a piece of the fruit you used.
Tips:
- Fruit combinations: You can use any combination of fresh fruits you like—mango, pineapple, watermelon, and cantaloupe are popular choices. If you want a richer flavor, you can add a little coconut milk or coconut water to the blend.
- Sweeteners: Instead of sugar, you can use agave syrup or honey for a different sweetness profile.
- Chill the fruit: If you want a colder, more refreshing agua, chill your fruit pieces beforehand or use frozen fruit.
Enjoy this sweet and refreshing Mexican treat!
