Ingredients:
1 large cantaloupe or half a watermelon, seeded and diced (about 3 cups) |
1 1/2 cups water |
2 to 4 tablespoons sugar |
2 to 3 limes, juiced |
Directions:
1. This and other similar fruit drinks, which translate literally as fresh water, are served all over Mexico and they're a cinch to replicate at home. The key is to strain the pulpy fruit to make a clearer liquid. Instead of melon, you could use strawberries, pineapple, or mango - any fruit that is soft enough to puree.
2. Puree cantaloupe and pour through a fine sieve to eliminate pulp. In a pitcher, mix strained fruit puree with water and season with sugar and lime juice, to taste.
