What is an Agua Fresca?<\/h2>\n

An agua fresca<\/a> (which translates to \u201cfresh water\u201d) is a refreshing drink widely popular in Central and South America, Mexico, and parts of the Caribbean. It\u2019s typically a combination of water and sugar mixed with fruit, flowers, or other flavorful ingredients. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s thought<\/a> that the making of agua frescas may go back centuries and that they may have originally been created by the Aztec people. The following is our inspired, naturally sweetened take based on one we tried in Mexico.<\/p>\n

How to Make a Cucumber Lime Agua Fresca<\/h2>\n

This agua fresca employs the subtle, cooling, and thirst-quenching goodness of one of our favorite veggies: cucumber! The best part? You don\u2019t even have to peel them. Just wash, chop, and toss in the blender! <\/p>\n

\"Pouring<\/figure>\n

Along with the cucumber, lime juice adds bright fruitiness while agave nectar (or maple syrup) adds a touch of sweetness. Mint is optional but highly recommended! <\/p>\n

\"Straining<\/figure>\n

After combining the ingredients with water, it\u2019s as easy as blend, strain, and serve. Easy peasy, lime squeezy! That\u2019s how it goes, right? <\/p>\n
