Ingredients
– 2 cups ripe cantaloupe, cubed
– 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
– 1 cup coconut water
– 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
– 1-2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional, to taste)
– Ice cubes (for serving)
– Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Creating your own Cantaloupe, Coconut and Berry Agua Fresca is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Fruits: Slice the cantaloupe in half, scoop out the seeds, and cut the flesh into cubes. Rinse the mixed berries under cold water and set aside.
2. Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine the cantaloupe cubes, mixed berries, coconut water, lime juice, and honey or agave syrup (if using). Blend until smooth.
3. Strain the Mixture (Optional): For a smoother consistency, pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large pitcher. Use a spoon to help press out all the liquid, leaving behind any pulp.
4. Chill the Agua Fresca: Place the pitcher in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld (this step is optional but enhances the taste).
5. Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled agua fresca over the ice.
6. Garnish: If desired, garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves for an added touch of freshness and color.
