Simple agua fresca

Ingredients for a pitcher

for a thicker than not agua fresca

  • half a pinapple (could be replace with Watermelon I guess, I never tried I dislike that shit)
  • fresh mint, 3 branches
  • Secondary fruit(s) you can add multiples
    • strawberries (6+)
    • peaches (2 or 3)
    • raspberry (tasty but filtering is a bit more annoying)
    • black berries (same)
    • kiwi (3+, can result in a bitter beverage by itself)
    • pomegranate (tasty, but an insane amount of work, I gave up. Taking it apart and filtering is so tedious, peaches are just as tasty to me)
    • mango (not the easiest to cut/mix)

I tried many combo, and so far the best result has been strawberies or peach. Some 3 fruits combo work great but 2 seems better

Steps

  1. Slice the half pinapple and other fruit. For the peaches I used to remove the sking, it's extra work but makes filtering easier. But I think you get a better result with the skin anyway (more flavor).
  2. I am a sucker for an immersion blender, so that's what I use, but a blender works too. Mix the fruit with some cold water, don't use more than half the volume of the pitcher you want to use.
  3. Filter the mix into a pitcher using a strainer, that's the most annoying part. The way I had more succes is to use a lid or ice crean spoon to scrap/press the pulpe on the strainer.
  4. Add water to fill up the pitcher.
  5. Add the mint to the pitcher and let it rest/cool over night. You can remove the mint the next morning if you do not want the mint flavor to be too present.
