Hey everyone, I thought it would be cool to post some recipes I
had found online. I’m going to *try* to do some of these beforehand, but I’m
sure there’ll be times I won't. I'm going to call this Finicky Friday. :)
Mexican
Strawberry Water (Agua de Fresa)
Recipe
by: Olivia "Fresh fruit waters, or Aguas de Frutas, made with crushed or
blended fruit are a common and popular drink all over Mexico. This recipe is
extremely flavorful and refreshing, especially when fresh strawberries are in
season."
Time: 4 h 25 m (prep is only 25 minutes)
10 servings
100 cals
Ingredients
4 cups strawberries, sliced
1 cup white sugar
8 cups cold water
1 lime, cut into 8 wedges (optional)
8 fresh mint sprigs (optional)
Directions
In a medium bowl, mix together sliced strawberries,
sugar, and 1 cup of water. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the
refrigerator for 4 hours.
Remove the strawberry mixture from the refrigerator
and pour into a blender. Blend on high until smooth. Pour the blended berry
mixture through a wire mesh strainer set over a large mixing bowl; discard the
pulp and seeds.
Add the remaining 7 cups cold water to the pureed
strawberries and mix well. Place the Aqua de Fresa in the refrigerator to chill
for several hours or pour over ice and serve immediately. Garnish with lime
slices or mint leaves.
