Agua de Mango con Fresa (Mango Agua Fresca with Strawberry)
This delightful agua fresca is a combination of two delicious fruits: mango and strawberry. Sweeten it with sugar, honey, or agave!
Aguas frescas are one of the most common drinks found throughout Mexico and are a budget-friendly alternative to excessively sweet soft drinks and juices. They can be made from anything including fresh fruits and vegetables to dried hibiscus flowers and even rice.
Once it begins to heat up in Colorado, you can find me in the kitchen making a different agua fresca every other day. Since mangoes and strawberries are currently at their peak sweetness, I took the opportunity to blend both fruits for a refreshing agua de mango con fresa that can be enjoyed all summer long. Enjoy!
Agua de Mango con Fresa (Mango Agua Fresca with Strawberry)
Ingredients
- 4 large mangos I prefer Manila or champagne mangoes, peeled and pit removed
- 10 medium strawberries husked
- 1/3 cup sugar honey or agave will also work
- 6 cups water
Instructions
- Working in batches, blend mangoes, strawberries, honey, and 4 cups water on medium setting for 60 seconds.
- Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher. You may need to agitate the mixture to let the concentrate through. Avoid pushing through the pulp to keep juice light in consistency. Compost pulp.
- Mix in additional 2 cups of water. Chill or serve immediately over ice. Garnish with strawberry halves and cubed mango if desired.
