Strawberry Agua Fresca

Last night we made Strawberry Agua Fresca using this recipe. It's like all-natural Kool-Aid. I used four cups of strawberries instead of five and I added a little more of the water into the blender so it pureed easier. We also just squirted a wedge of lime into each glass instead of adding the lime juice. Here's the updated recipe:

Strawberry Agua Fresca

• 4 cups hulled, rinsed strawberries
• 1/2 cup sugar
• Lime wedges
  

In a blender, whirl strawberries, sugar, and 2 cups water until very smooth. Press blended strawberry mixture through a fine strainer into a pitcher. Add an additional 6 cups water, and more sugar to taste. Serve over ice with a lime wedge.

I'm going to try this same basic recipe with other fruits.
