Strawberry Watermelon Agua Fresca

 

What Is Agua Fresca?

Head into any taqueria then in the West and likely you will find agua fresca( restated literally" fresh water") for trade. The standard flavors are tamarindo( made with tamarind), horchata( rice and cinnamon), and jamaica( hibiscus), but you can make agua fresca — a cooling, refreshing drink — from nearly any juicy fruit. Watermelon Agua Fresca With Strawberry :

They were dealing this combination — watermelon and strawberry — agua fresca at Whole Foods moment. The samples were so good I had to make this watermelon drink form for myself when I got home.

I suppose they would indurate well, too, as a fruit popsicle( without the added water, and perhaps a bit more sugar).
