Agua de Sandia
Ingredients:
3 to 4 cups watermelon, cut in large chunks
4 cups water
1/2 to 2/3 cup sugar
Directions:
Fill a blender cup with watermelon. Add the 4 cups of water. Puree until smooth.
Strain the pureed mixture into a 2 quart pitcher.
Add enough water to fill the pitcher. Sweeten with sugar. (I used 1/2 cup, but you could use more or less.)
Serve with lots of ice or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Enjoy!!!
This looks refreshing!
ReplyDeleteI made a quick version last week to help with the heat and boy did it help ... hot sauce on watermelon?
ReplyDeleteAt my house, we do Tajin, lime, and chamoy on watermelon. It's delicious!
ReplyDeletegreat idea! we are going through at least 1 melon per week and it is getting boring. This is a good alternative.
ReplyDeleteThis looks very refreshing, I have half of a watermelon in the fridge, let me go do some "agua de sandia".
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing :)
Hola from Dominican Republic,

Ah yes, my hubby likes to make this every summer. Delicious, especially if you add a little squeeze of limon. I have to add that to all my refreshing drinks. I'm glad to have found your blog today. Since my husband was born and raised in Acapulco, Mexico, a large part of our meals are homemade Mexican. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
