STRAWBERRY AGUA FRESCA



Strawberry Agua Fresca image

From Cooking Light magazine. Spanish for "fresh water", agua fresca is a refreshing, fruit-infused drink that is served throughout Mexico. Depending on the ripeness of the berries, adjust the amount of sugar for desired sweetness. Frozen strawberries would be fine in this. I like this with 2-3 times the water or seltzer water for a thinner drink. I also increase the sugar.

STRAWBERRY-JAMAICA AGUA FRESCA



Strawberry-Jamaica Agua Fresca image

Dried Hibuscus Flowers, known as 'Jamaica' give the 'tart' component to this summer quencher, and the resulting drink is absolutely, and shockingly, gorgeous. The hibiscus has a very high acidity, which you have to balance with the sweet, fragrant strawberries. This one takes a bit more time to make, but it's worth it. Purchase the 'jamaica' flowers at your local Mexican specialty store - they last quite a long time if stored properly.

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 lbs strawberries, washed, hulled, and sliced (keep the juice!!)
1 cup sugar or 3/4 cup agave nectar

Steps:

  • Combine the flowers with the water in a pan and bring up to a boil over medium high heat. Boil for 6 minutes, then remove from heat, cover, and allow to steep for 2 hours.
  • Clean the strawberries, slice them into a bowl, and cover with sugar, toss, and let stand on the counter for half an hour.
  • Puree the strawberries and the liquid they cast , then strain through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher or a sun-tea jar, then pour the hibiscus liquid in and stir well.
  • Taste and adjust with more water or sugar to your taste.
