Description

Cantaloupe Agua Fresca is a refreshing, hydrating Mexican beverage made with fresh cantaloupe, lime juice, and a touch of sweetness. It’s the ideal drink for hot summer days or any occasion where you need a refreshing treat.


Ingredients

1 cantaloupe, peeled, seeded, and cubed

6 cups water

2 tablespoons lime juice, or more to taste

Sugar or honey to taste (optional)


Instructions

  1. Cut the Cantaloupe: Peel, seed, and cube the cantaloupe into chunks to prepare it for blending.
  2. Blend the Ingredients: Place the cantaloupe chunks in a blender. Add the water and lime juice.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
  4. Strain the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids and ensure a smooth texture.
  5. Sweeten to Taste: Add sugar or honey to taste if you want a sweeter drink. Stir until fully dissolved.
  6. Serve: Serve the agua fresca chilled or over ice for a refreshing treat.

Notes

Adjust Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the sweetness with more or less sugar or honey to suit your taste.

Thicker Version: For a thicker, smoothie-like consistency, use less water or add more cantaloupe.

Extra Citrus: Add a squeeze of additional lime juice for a more tangy flavor.

Herb Infusion: Add a few mint leaves to the blender for a refreshing minty twist.

Other Fruits: Try blending in other fruits like watermelon or pineapple for a tropical variation.
