Melon Agua Fresca Ingredients
- 10 cups packed melon cubes (or 1 whole small melon, seeded and cubed)
- 1/2 cup cane sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/4 cup runny honey
- 1 cup cold filtered water
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather the melon cubes, lime zest, freshly squeezed lime juice, cane sugar, honey, and cold filtered water to have everything ready for blending.
- Blend Ingredients: Place the melon cubes, cane sugar, lime zest, lime juice, honey, and 1 cup of cold filtered water into a blender. If your blender is small, work in batches to ensure thorough blending.
- Puree Smooth: Blend the mixture at high speed until it becomes very smooth, ensuring all the flavors combine beautifully.
- Serve: Pour the blended melon juice into a pitcher filled with ice. Serve chilled for a refreshing drink.
Notes
- You can start with less cane sugar and add more to adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
- Use a ripe, sweet melon such as cantaloupe or honeydew for the best flavor.
- For a more intense flavor, zest the lime just before use to preserve its oils.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more cold water when blending.
- This drink is best served immediately but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
