Agua Fresca: Watermelon Mint
Prep Time
10 minutes
Prep Notes
You're likely to see Agua Fresca sold by street vendors in most Latin American cities. This refreshing drink is quick-to-make using seasonal fruit and delicious. You can filter out the fruit pulp for a light clear Agua Fresca, or you can drink it with the pulp (that's the way I like it!)
