How to Make Cantaloupe Agua Fresca
- Peel, seed, and coarsely chop approximately 6 cups of ripe cantaloupe.
- Place 2 cups of the chopped cantaloupe in a blender. Add 1 1/2 cups of cold water.
- Blend until completely smooth.
- Strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
- Repeat steps 2-4 with the remaining cantaloupe.
- Pour the combined cantaloupe liquid into a 2-quart pitcher.
- Add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar (or to taste) and the juice of 2 limes (optional, for a more traditional taste).
- Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled over ice. Garnish with cantaloupe balls or lime wedges, if desired.
