This is so refreshing and easy! Added ice directly in Vitamix and didn't need to strain. I'm also a fan of bitter.  Thanks for this summer recipe.

Delicious! Great drink to have by the pool! I made the recipe with mint and put some sliced cucumbers in the glass with plenty of ice! It tastes the best when the ice melts some. Super refreshing!

Making these this weekend.... with a bit of rum or tequila as my baby makin days are over. 😉☀️🍹 

Congrats on your pregnancy!!

I have been looking for a summer drink.  It's been so hot this month and I don't feel like eating as much, so this is perfect!  Its so refreshing and hydrating and delicious.  Thank you for sharing.

I was skeptical, but Oh. My!  It is so good!  I could absolutely drink a pitcher myself, just as it is!
(Also taste tested with spirits for those not pregnant and this drink favors vodka over tequila)

This is so refreshing and the perfect summer drink! I tried the mint and ginger variation and it was delish. This will be made again many times.

This was SO good. Really loved the slight bitterness from the lime peel. It was a little too sweet for my tastes - I'll prob cut the white sugar in half next time. I also love adding a teaspoon of chia seeds to a glass of agua fresca right before serving.

Gulp of Yum!  Can’t imagine a more refreshing summer beverage! We did peel our cukes and limes. Enjoy!

I just made this using some extra large cucumbers from my garden that I didn't know what to do with. I used a combination of mint and basil and I substituted a lemon for one of the limes because that's what I had. It turned out FANTASTIC! The perfect summer "sip all day" drink. Can't wait to try some different flavor combinations.

I love how low calorie this drink is. I know my crew would love one of these after a hot shift in the sun. It just looks so refreshing! Thanks for sharing and I'll definitely be giving it a try :)

This is very healthy drink for Summer. It refreshes our mind. It keeps our body hydrated.

Drinking this right now and it’s soooo good! Perfect for blazing hot Georgia summers. I didn’t have lime so I used lemon. Works great. I’ll also note that it blended up totally fine in my very old magic bullet, so you can use any blender and make it happen!

Pregnant with twins and trying to stay hydrated. This is delicious!!

This recipe is great! I have been looking for mocktail ideas to have during the week and this hits the spot. I like the recipe as is, but I may try reducing the sugar next time. I also love it topped with sparkling water for even more of a mocktail feel!

I just made it with ginger. It’s so refreshing!

Made with just tamarind, piloncillo, and water, this agua fresca is tart, sweet, and refreshing all at the same time. You&#039;re going to love it!

Tamarindo Drink (Agua de Tamarindo)

tamarind pods (1.25)

water (0.01)

piloncillo (0.34)

Lime wedges

Remove the outer shell from the tamarind pods and as many of the fibrous strings as you can manage. Note: It&#39;s easiest to pull the fibers from one end downwards along the length of the pod.

Bring 4 cups of water to boil in a large pot. Once boiling, add in the peeled tamarind pods. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Turn the heat off, then let the water cool to room temperature for about 1 hour.

Once the water has cooled, separate the sticky paste from the seeds in the pot. Discard the hard seeds and any more strings you can see.

Transfer the tamarind mixture to a blender with ½ the piloncillo. Blend on high until smooth, then taste and add the rest of the sweetener if it needs.

Work the tamarind mixture through a mesh strainer over a pitcher or large jar. Mix in the rest of the water to your liking, then let chill for a few hours or serve immediately over ice with a lime wedge. Happy drinking!

This sounds so good! What a fun way to hydrate. This would be a great non-alcoholic beverage for a party, too. Although I'm sure you could spike it with something and end up very happy.

That Vitamix sounds like a dream! Hot soup and a cleaning setting?! I think the future is officially here! 

Great recipe!

Okay yeah summer is definitely here. Missouri is crazy hot right now!! Those past few days in the 90s was very unexpected for me. Let's drink these together, xo!!

Those drinks are beautiful and will be perfect for summer and entertaining! Great idea!

Yummy! This aguas frescas Smoothie Recipe looks is really awesome! This recipe gives me an excuse to trying it! Thanks for share...

My boyfriend is from mexico and loves agua fresca but its usually too sweet for me when we are out but I thought I'd give it a try at home where I can control the amount of sugar. Your recipe is so simple, I just went to the fridge, grabbed some strawberries and lime, then in 2 minutes we were drinking agua fresca! I am so excited! It will be a great non-alcoholic alternative to my poolside margaritas during the summers here in Arizona...and a good option for spiked agua frescas when the occasion calls for it. Thanks!

thanks for the recipe, worked just fine using an immersion blender

Hello. Should I remove the seeds from the cucumber?

Where in Austin did you get that agua fresca?

Crazy about aqua fresca! I made this the other day and it was so delicious. Everyone loved it even the texture-sensitive husband.
Instead of lime juice, I suggest pulsing a diced whole lime and a cup or two of water first though, then straining through a sieve and using this with the rest of the recipe. The skin gives it just the right little bit of bitter.

EASY Agua de Sandia (Watermelon Water)

Aguas Frescas translate to &quot;cool waters.&quot; These are made from watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew. This Mexican refreshing beverage, is perfect for a warm day.

Aguas Frescas

honeydew (flesh chopped up, seeds and skin discarded)

sugar (if needed)

cantaloupe (flesh and seeds scooped out)

Place a medium-fine mesh strainer into a large bowl. You most likely will need to do this in batches (I have a pretty big blender and had to do it in batches).

To a blender, add the honeydew, water, sugar and lime juice. Pulse until completely smooth and pureed. Pour the mixture into the strainer, allowing it to drain. Feel free to help it along by stirring it with a whisk. Give it a taste and add any more sugar, if needed. Transfer it to pitcher and place in the fridge to chill.

To Make Honeydew Agua Fresca:

To a blender, add the cubed watermelon and water. Pulse until pureed and very smooth. Give it a taste; adjust the sugar accordingly. If it's at the beginning of the summer, you may need to add a bit of sugar, toward the end of the season, the watermelons will be super sweet and will need none at all.

Pour the mixture through a strainer and into a pitcher, pressing the watermelon pulp with the back of a spoon to release any excess juices. Transfer to the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour.

To Make Watermelon Agua Fresca:

To a blender, add the cantaloupe flesh, its seeds, water, sugar and lime juice. Pulse until completely smooth and pureed. Pour the mixture into the strainer, allowing it to drain. Feel free to help it along by stirring it with a whisk. Give it a taste and add any more sugar, if needed. Transfer it to pitcher and place in the fridge to chill.

To Make Cantaloupe Agua Fresca:

I had agua fresca (beautiful sound for cool water!) in two Mexican restaurants. and I wanted to make watermelon version by myself. I liked your recipe since you give specific thoughts to watermelon as well as to other fruits.  It is a simple drink, but it tastes great, just by being natural. The straining with a colander was easier than I had thought, and it removed all the seeds. Thank you for teaching me! I will try with cantaloupe or honeydew and... pineapple next time.

I've got two questions, but first I just wanted to say congratulations and keep up the great work! I love your book, and just happened to wind up here by chance after looking for some Agua Fresca recipes.

1. Why do you add the seeds with the cantaloupe flesh, while they are discarded from the honeydew?

2. How long do you suppose they'd keep, refrigerated in a sealed bottle? (Psh, like I'm not gonna down it all the second it's ready!)

Thanks again! 
Kate

Just made the watermelon agua fresca and it’s so good! More cost effective than buying watermelon juice from the shop downtown, and no more work to make it than to drive all the way there.  Watermelon is my fave thing about summer.

Such a great idea! I love how easy they are! Also beautiful pictures as always. Thanks for sharing!
