Description
Pure and fresh strawberry water with a bit of fresh mint flavor. A perfect drink on a hot summer day.
Ingredients
- 2 pints Strawberries, Hulled
- ¾ cups Sugar, Or As Needed Depending On The Sweetness Of Your Strawberries
- ½ cups Fresh Mint Leaves
- 8 cups Water
- ½ cups Ice, Per Serving
Preparation
Begin by macerating your strawberries. Add them to a bowl, add the sugar, mix, and let them go for at least two hours. You will notice that they begin to release their liquid and turn into something wonderful.
Next, add the bowl of macerated strawberries to a blender. Add in the mint and water and give it a good blend, almost into a puree.
Now you need to strain the mixture. If you have a fine wire strainer, use it and place over a bowl.
Slowly pour in the mixture and, with a wooden spoon or other utensil, begin slowly moving it around, separating the pulp from the water. This will take a few minutes to do.
Once you have strained everything, you are left with a very refreshing strawberry water. Pour this into a pitcher and place in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to let it get nice and cold. Otherwise, if you do not have time for that, fill up your glass with ice, pour the strawberry agua fresca inside, and head outside.
Enjoy that sun. Enjoy that heat, and better yet, enjoy that strawberry agua fresca. There is nothing like it, so enjoy every moment of it!
