Ingredients
-
2 ripe mangos, peeled and diced
-
4 cups cold water
-
2 tablespoons sugar (or sweetener of choice)
-
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
-
Ice cubes (optional)
-
Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Mangoes: Peel the mangoes and dice them into small chunks. Discard the pit and cut around it to extract as much fruit as possible.
-
Blend: In a blender, add the diced mangoes, cold water, and lime juice. Blend until smooth. For a thinner consistency, you can add more water.
-
Sweeten: Taste the mixture and add sugar (or your preferred sweetener) to your liking. Blend again to ensure everything is well combined.
-
Serve: Pour the mango agua fresca into glasses filled with ice cubes, if desired. Garnish with mint leaves for a refreshing touch.
Notes
-
Adjust Sweetness: If your mangoes are very sweet, you may not need much (or any) added sugar. Always taste and adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
-
Frozen Mango: For a thicker, creamier drink, use frozen mango cubes instead of fresh. This will give your agua fresca a smoothie-like texture.
-
Flavor Variations: Add pineapple or strawberries to the mango mixture for a tropical twist. You could also infuse it with a slice of ginger for a zesty flavor
