What is watermelon agua fresca?

Refreshing Agua Fresca

I must be living under a log in the middle of a forest because I had never heard of agua fresca until today. This is the most refreshing summer drink.

Like actually refreshing. Not like lemonade, which tastes delicious, but leaves you thirsty. Agua fresca actually quenches your thirst and leaves you hydrated. I should know because I just drank the entire batch and am feeling very hydrated. Ahhhh.

The sweetness really depends on the watermelon you use, so make sure your watermelon is ripe. If not, you can add a little bit of pure maple syrup to sweeten the agua fresca. It’s all up to your taste buds.

I should also mention this recipe is insanely easy. I’m pretty sure my 3-year-old could do it all by himself – at least the blender part. Go here to check out more cooking recipes for kids.
