Little Leagues: Aqua Fresca de Fruta


My kids have been having a ball with this recipe this week. I found it the other night and we've done it three times in the last four days. This is a Mexican fruit cooler-type drink often served in Taquerias but not in typical Mexican resturants.

Aqua Fresca

2 cups diced fruit
2 cups water
1 cup ice
1/4 cup sugar or to taste
a couple of tablespoons lemon or lime juice, as needed

Put in blender and blend until well mixed. Pour through strainer before serving.

Fruit suggestions:

seedless grapes, cantelope, honeydew, watermelon, strawberry, mango (use only 1 cup fruit).

We're experimenting with other flavors, though. Enjoy!
