Melon Agua Fresca (Agua de Melón)

This melon agua fresca, or agua de melón, is one of my favorite summer drinks—right up there with agua de jamaica. Cantaloupe is naturally sweet, low in calories, and when blended with a little water and sugar? You get a refreshing, nourishing drink that tastes like summer in a glass.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Cut the melon in half and peel completely. Save the seeds.
  • Put the peeled melon, sugar, water and seeds in the blender jar. Blend until everything is fully integrated.

Notes

1 large melon gives us about 5-6 cups of cut melon.

Storage

Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir before serving as it may separate a little.
