So you ask... what is Aqua Frescas?
It is the Mexican answer to a beverage that greatly complements spicy cuisine. This is a wonderfully refreshing and unique potion that provides a nice counter to the heat of any spicy meal or as a "pick me up" on a hot summer day.
Non-alcoholic in nature, it is a great concoction that the kiddies along with adults can enjoy.
The recipe below is for a melon combo but feel free to experiment with just watermelon, cantaloupe or honeydew by themselves.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of cubed seedless melon - combo of watermelon, honeydew and cantaloupe
- 1/4 cup sugar or Splenda
1) Place ingredients in blender and blend until smooth - scraping down the sides
2) Strain mixture to separate the liquid from the solids with wire mesh - discard solids
3) Add two cups of cold water to melon liquid - chill or serve immediately
