Agua de Kiwi (Kiwi Fruit Agua Fresca)

by Lola Dweck
I’ve loved kiwi fruit ever since childhood and created this agua de kiwi as an ode to one of my favorite tropical fruits. It’s light, refreshing, and rich in antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 6 kiwis peeled and halved
  • ½ cup sugar or to taste, if desired
  • 6 cups water

Instructions
 

  • Blend and strain ingredients. Place the peeled kiwis, sugar, and 3 cups of water in a blender and process on medium setting for 30 to 60 seconds. 
    Pour the blended kiwi mixture through a fine mesh sieve, into a pitcher, to remove the seeds and any remaining pulp.
    Add remaining 3 cups of water and stir well to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness, if necessary.
  • Serve and enjoy. Chill or serve over plenty of ice and enjoy. You can serve with slices of fresh kiwi if desired.

A Note from Lola

HOW TO STORE AGUA FRESCA

Store agua fresca in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days, ensuring it stays fresh and chilled. Ingredients tend to settle at the bottom, so remember to stir your agua fresca before serving.

ON SWEETENERS

You can add as much or as little sugar as you’d like to all of your aguas frescas, including this one. I also like to use honey, agave, or simple syrup (boil equal parts water and sugar until sugar is dissolved) in my agua fresca recipes. 

ON TEXTURE

I have seen plenty of agua fresca recipes that say not to strain the ingredients. While I'm all about taking in all of the fiber and nutrients possible, agua fresca is meant to be light in texture - nowhere near a smoothie and not even as thick as a nectar. Therefore straining is essential in all of my recipes, except for my agua de sandía and agua de limón con sandía because watermelon is naturally watery and doesn't require straining.
