Strawberry Mint Agua Fresca

Agua Fresca is a great summer beverage. With fresh fruit and water, it’s a definite way to up your family’s beverage game over the summer. With Strawberry season right around the corner, Strawberry Mint Agua Fresca is a great choice.

Agua Fresca is a fresh water made with fruit and often sweetened with sugar. Agua Fresca is a perfect summer drink – light, fruity, and refreshing.

Fortunately, strawberries were on sale this week and I had plenty to use. We also grow mint, so I was able to pick fresh leaves to use.

Note: I only used 4 leaves of fresh mint since my daughter is not a big mint fan. I have written the recipe to use 6 leaves for a stronger mint flavor.
