How to Make Agua Fresca
- Cut approximately 4 cups of your favorite melon into chunks. (Cantaloupe, honeydew, Santa Claus melon all work wonderfully!)
- If using a blender, add the melon chunks and approximately 1 cup of water. Blend until you achieve a coarse pulp. If using a juicer (like a Lalane juicer), juice the melon thoroughly.
- Pour the melon pulp or juice into a large pitcher.
- Add 1 cup of water and ½ cup of granulated sugar (or to taste). You can substitute with other sweeteners like agave or honey.
- Stir vigorously until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill thoroughly before serving. Garnish with fresh mint or melon balls for an extra touch of elegance.
