Description
Are you looking for a refreshing summer drink with far less sugar than traditional lemonade? Then give my Watermelon Agua Fresca a try. The natural sweetness of the fruit means you don’t need a lot of added sugar! Even though watermelon has a naturally sweet taste, it is only 46 calories per cup. Did you also know that watermelon has even more cancer-fighting lycopene than tomatoes?
