There’s nothing like a refreshing and fruity agua fresca during the warm days of summer. This watermelon, basil and coconut agua fresca blends these three ingredients for a delicious quenching drink.
If you are unfamiliar, agua fresca literally means “fresh water” and it is a typical drink in Mexico made from all kinds of different fruits and often sweetened. The most popular ones, which you may have seen at Mexican food joints, include horchata, jamaica (hibiscus) and tamarindo.
You would not believe how simple it is to make this agua fresca.
Simply put together all of the ingredients in a blender and blend!
