Notes
Check out these simple tips to make the perfect drink every time:
- If you are using berries, make sure to hull them and remove their stems. If you're short on time, you can always buy pre-cut berries from the produce department at your local grocery store.
- For fruits that are more watery, like watermelon, you may need to cut back the amount of water used to about 1 ½ cups.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of water with any of the flavor combinations that you create. If you like it more fruity, use less water!
- Agua fresca is best when it is ice cold. Use cold water and add ice to the beverage to make it extra cold and refreshing.
