If you live in the USA and make this Mango Agua Fresca, you will probably end up using mangos from Mexico. This is because most of the mangos sold in American supermarkets come from Mexico, a major mango producer. In fact, 23 of the 31 states in Mexico produce mangos!

Tips:

  • Choose ripe mangoes: The sweetness and flavor of your agua fresca will depend on the quality of your mangoes. Look for ripe mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch and have a deep yellow or orange color.
  • Use filtered water: Filtered water will help to remove any impurities from the water and make your agua fresca taste better.
  • Add a little bit of lime juice: Lime juice will help to brighten the flavor of the agua fresca and make it more refreshing.
  • Don't over-sweeten the agua fresca: A little bit of sugar or honey is all you need to sweeten the agua fresca. Too much sugar will make it too sweet and cloying.
  • Serve the agua fresca chilled: Agua fresca is best served chilled. You can chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
