When you think of Summer....you think of watermelon.
Watermelon is king of summer and takes full reign over most recipes during the season.
Jordyns bestfriend is coming over to hang out for a few hours today and they plan on playing outside, so I whipped up some yummy, sugar free watermelon agua fresca as a sweet way to keep them cool and hydrated.
What exactly is agua fresca?
Agua Fresca is spanish for "fresh water". It's made by blending fruit and water to make light, refreshing drinks. Some people add sugar to their agua frescas, I chose this naturally sweet fruit so I skipped the added sugar.
You only need 4 ingredients for this sweet drink.
Really, you only need 2 but I added some lime and mint to give it an extra little kick.
Start with your watermelon. Slice it open and admire the gorgeousness that is the king of summer.
I mean, come on...if that bright red juiciness isn't a symbol that summer is here....what is?
Dice your watermelon and add 6 cups of it to the blender with the juice of 1/2 a lime.
Blend until smooth.
Strain your liquid through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher.
Add 3/4 cup water, some lime slices, and a few sprigs of fresh mint and stir!
Refrigerate for 30 mins to an hour and then serve over ice.
This is such an easy drink to make and every sip is so refreshing.
And I mean, if you choose to add a splash of vodka.....it'll be our little secret. ;)
