Agua Fresca –
I found this recipe for Agua Fresca in the book
Hello! Hello! I found the recipe for Agua Fresca from the book Hello. This drink is super easy to make. It only takes four ingredients. Well, okay, five ingredients because we added a little Malibu Rum. Honestly, this was so good without the rum but it did add a nice touch since we were floating in the pool on sunny Saturday afternoon.You can make this drink recipe with just about any fruit but cantaloupe is the only one I’ve tried so far since we like it so much. It’s so refreshing. I don’t know if it’s as healthy as I would like to believe since it has added sugar, but it’s better than drinking pop.
Cheers for a great summer!
