Ingredients
Ingredients
- 6 cups diced watermelon
- 4 cups cold water
- ¼ cup granulated sugar, plus more as needed
- Lime wedges, for garnish
- Mint sprigs, for garnish
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add the diced watermelon, cold water, and half of the sugar to a large blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth, ensuring that all the watermelon pieces are fully pureed.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the blended mixture and add the remaining sugar if needed, blending again briefly to combine the sugar evenly. This step ensures the perfect balance of sweetness tailored to your preference.
- Serve or Chill: Serve the agua fresca immediately over ice for the freshest flavor, or chill it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving, garnish with lime wedges and mint sprigs to enhance the presentation and add a refreshing touch.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar based on your taste and the natural sweetness of the watermelon.
- For an extra refreshing twist, add a few ice cubes while blending or serve with crushed ice.
- To keep the agua fresca fresh, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within three days.
- Lime wedges and mint sprigs not only garnish the drink but also add additional flavor and aroma.
