How to Make Tangy And Sweet Aqua Fresca

  1. Combine 4 cups of water and 2 cups of your chosen fruit (peeled, pitted, and roughly chopped) in a blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth. For extra-smooth results, blend in two batches.
  3. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much juice as possible.
  4. Stir in the juice of 1-2 limes (or lemons, to taste) and 1/2 cup of sugar (or to taste). Adjust sweetness according to your preference.
  5. Taste and add more sugar or lime juice as needed to achieve your desired balance of sweet and tangy.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Garnish each serving with a lime or lemon wedge and a sprig of mint (optional) before serving.
