Agua Fresca De Papaya Recipes

Steps:

• Blend 5 cups of any chopped fruit (we used strawberries, cantaloupe, pineapple, honeydew, watermelon and mango) with 3 cups water, 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons lime juice. Add more sugar and/or lime juice to taste and serve over ice.

Steps:

• Stir the sugar and water together in a large pitcher until the sugar dissolves. Measure out 1 cup. Puree the fruit and the 1 cup sugar water in a blender. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer back into the pitcher with the sugar water, mashing with a whisk or wooden spoon to eliminate any pulp.
• Taste and add more sugar, if desired. Serve over ice, with a lemon or lime wedge, if desired.

Steps:

• Cut pitayas in half and scoop out flesh. Combine pitaya, water, lime juice, and sugar substitute in a blender; blend until smooth.
• Fill 2 glasses with ice and pour agua fresca over ice.

Steps:

• Choose very ripe fruit; peel, seed, and coarsely chop.
• Smoothly puree measured fruit pulp and juice (a portion at a time, if needed) in blender with sugar and lime juice.
• Add flavored fruit mixture to water, then rub through a fine strainer into a large jar or pitcher and discard pulp.
• Pour the agua fresca over ice cubes into tall glasses.
• Slices or chunks of matching fruit may be added as garnish just before serving.

Steps:

• 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.
