This recipe can be used as a prototype for all aguas frescas. Here it is made with cucumber as the main ingredient, but any number of fruit could be substituted for the cucumber, including watermelon, cantaloupe (rockmelon), papaya (paw paw), strawberry or mango. Adjust the sugar and lime according to your taste, and the amount of water you add according to how strong you like the flavor.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
1 large cucumber, peeled and cut into large pieces
2 cups water
1 cup ice
3 tablespoons sugar, or to taste
Juice of 1/4 lemon or 1/2 lime, or to taste

Great thirst quencher See all of Rae's reviews »
This was very good. I used only 1 cup of water instead of 2 cups, but that would depend on the size of the cucumber. I also used my Vitamix for this.
