Strawberry Agua Fresca
This Strawberry Agua Fresca is the perfect drink to cool you off on a hot day. It may still be pretty cold where you, are but here in Florida, it’s strawberry season!
The Florida Strawberry Festival is in March, and that means strawberries are ripe and ready for recipes! Believe it or not, temperatures are in the low to mid 80’s, and it’s the beginning of March!
Drinking fruit infused water is a great way to stay hydrated all year long, so be sure to check out this pineapple water, too. It’s delicious!
Why This Recipe Works
When it’s hot and humid here, there’s nothing better than an icy cold drink. We just got back from Mexico where Agua Fresca is a popular fruity drink.
It’s also pretty healthy except for the sugar, which you can replace with your favorite low-cal sweetener if you’re watching your weight. Simply eliminate the sugar and sweeten to taste with your favorite sugar substitute. (I love Stevia!)
Gather these ingredients and make a big batch to serve at your next gathering. It’s so delicious, your friends will be asking for the recipe!
What You Need To Make It

10 large juicy strawberries, stems removed and sliced into quarters
