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

DIRECTIONS

Place the cucumber in a blender, and puree with all of the remaining ingredients until completely smooth.

Serve immediately, garnished with cucumber and lime.

Serving Size = 1 cup

Great thirst quencher

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.
