Cantaloupe Agua Fresca Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 cantaloupes
- 28 oz sweetened condensed milk If you prefer to use sugar, use 2-3 cups for this recipe to achieve your desired level of sweetness.
- 8 cups chilled water
- 2 cups ice optional
Instructions
- Wash cantaloupes. Cut off the rind. Cut the cantaloupes in half, remove seeds, and dice into bite sized pieces.
- Optional: reserve 1 cup of cantaloupe bite sized pieces to use as garnish.
- Using a blender, blend 2-3 cups of diced cantaloupe, 1/4 of the condensed milk, and two cups of chilled water.
- Once the three items are fully blended, strain the agua fresca into a pitcher to remove the excess pulp. Discard the excess pulp.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all ingredients have been fully blended.
- Pour the agua fresca into a pretty pitcher or carafe. If you do not drink the agua fresca immediately, refrigerate.
- Serve the agua fresca in clear drink glasses to show off its beautiful hue. Add a couple of ice cubes and bite size pieces of cantaloupe into each glass. Mint is also a lovely garnish that can be used. Enjoy your agua fresca de melon!
