Agua De Piña

We have been spending a lot of time outside on the slip and slide, not me, but the kiddos.  Can you imagine me on a slip and slide? Pretty scary.

The kids slip and I sip, they slide and I sip.

I say it’s a pretty fun time for all involved.  Aguas frescas are one of the highlights of summer, that and paletas of course.  Fruit blended until shiny smooth, mixed with a bit of water and sweetened to taste. It really doesn’t get any better.  While the kids slip into their bathing suits I quickly blend a large pitcher of agua fresca, add ice and we’re set for the afternoon.

I don’t like to overload my agua with sugar or water as I want the fruit flavor to be the star.  Taste your pineapple before adding sugar and feel free to add more water if desired.  Pineapple and cucumber are also a great flavor combo and you can never go wrong with pineapple and mango.

 

Agua Frescas (fresh waters) are made with fresh fruit and a mix of vegetables or seeds. Prepared agua fresca drink mixes can be found in the Latin section of your grocery store, but I find many are loaded with sugar and provide very little fruit flavor. Why bother when aguas are so easy to make and can be made seasonal when the fruit/vegetables are at their peak.
