Agua fresca's are Mexican fruit beverages. I love Agua Fresca's and these ones sound wonderful to me. these recipes are from Whats4eats. These refreshing beverages are typically served from large barrel-shaped glass containers. The lime juice adds a lovely tartness to the drink making it more refreshing. Some of the more traditional varieties are watermelon, cantaloupe and strawberry. I have given 6 fruit options, choose the fruit you like and enjoy! Ingredients:
3 cups strawberries, chopped coarsely (strawberry fresca) |

3 cups cucumbers, peeled, seeded (cucumber fresca) |
6 -8 cups water |
1/2-3/4 cup sugar, white |
1/4 cup lime juice (optional) |
