How to Make Lemon Water Agua Limon
- Finely grate the zest (outer rind only) of 7 lemons and set aside. Avoid grating the white pith, as it's bitter.
- Juice the 7 lemons into a large heatproof bowl. Strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds.
- Thinly slice 4-6 lemon rounds and set aside for garnish.
- Add the lemon zest to the lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
- Gradually stir in the granulated sugar until completely dissolved.
- Slowly pour in the boiling water, stirring continuously to prevent scorching.
- Let the mixture cool completely to room temperature. This will take approximately 30-45 minutes.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully chill. The longer it chills, the better the flavor.
- Once chilled, strain the Agua Fresca through a fine-mesh sieve into a serving pitcher to remove any solids.
- Add cold water to adjust the sweetness and tartness to your liking. Taste and add more sugar if needed.
- Serve in chilled glasses, garnished with a lemon slice. Add ice if desired.
