GUAVA, GRAPEFRUIT, AND ROSEMARY AGUA FRESCA (AGUA FRESCA DE GUAYABA, TORONJA Y ROMERO)



Guava, Grapefruit, and Rosemary Agua Fresca (Agua fresca de guayaba, toronja y romero) image

I have always thought that aguas frescas were born out of resourcefulness. If you only have one melon to juice but there are ten people coming over for lunch, how do you make it yield more? By turning it into an agua fresca. It is a wonderful fresh tradition shared by the entire country. It is the perfect drink to have when a fruit juice would be too much and plain water too boring. It has three basic ingredients: water, fruit, and sugar. The method is basically the same for all aguas. We have listed a basic method with four different ratios and flavor profiles, so you get familiar with the process and then make it your own. You can play with different fruit, herb, and spice combinations and by adjusting the sweetness levels to your taste and the ratio of water to fruit. For example, we like ours a bit more watery and I barely add any sugar. Following this one, we included three recipes for aguas that stray from the norm a bit and are each interesting in its own way.

Categories     Guava     Rosemary     Grapefruit     Citrus     Spring     Summer

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups (710 ml/24 fl oz) water
Juice of 3 grapefruits
2 cups (430 g) guava puree (preferably from fresh guavas)
Leaves from 1 sprig fresh rosemary
½ cup (100 g) sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • In a blender, combine all the ingredients, except the sugar, and blend well. Standard blender jars probably won't fit all the ingredients so blend in batches. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher. Add sugar (or your preferred sweetener) to taste, adjusting for your own preference and based on how sweet the fruit is to begin with. Add enough ice to your liking. As an option, you can garnish with a piece of an ingredient in the agua. For example, a sprig of rosemary, a stick of cinnamon, or slices of lemon. Pour into ice-filled glasses.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Drink Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 5

14 cups honeydew melon or cantaloupe (from a 5-pound melon)

Ice
2 cups raspberries

Steps:

  • Set a large fine-mesh sieve over a large pitcher or jug. In batches, in a food processor or blender, puree melon until smooth. Pour melon puree through sieve, pressing on solids with a rubber spatula (you should have about 4 cups juice).

Adjust sweetness with more sugar if desired. (Mixture can be refrigerated, up to 2 days.) To serve, add plenty of ice and 2 cups raspberries.

  • Fruit Agua Fresca. Agua fresca can be made with virtually any fruit—and you can mix different fruits to make up your favorite flavor combo. Some fruits, such as melon and apples, can be blended into the water after you remove the skins, seeds, and stems.
  • Agua de Jamaica (Hibiscus Flower Tea) Agua fresca made with hibiscus flowers is made a little differently because the dried hibiscus needs to simmer in hot water to give up their color and flavor.
  • Agua de Tamarindo (Tamarind Water) The brown gooey pulp of the tamarind pod is tangy and has a mild earthiness that, when sweetened, makes a delicious agua fresca.
  • Chia Fresca (Mexican Lemonade With Chia Seeds) Chia seeds are a highly nutritious "superfood" that contain fiber, protein, and omega-3 fats, which are all very healthy to consume.
  • Horchata de Arroz (Rice Drink) Horchata can be prepared with ground seeds or nuts, but in Mexico, it is most commonly is made with rice. White rice is soaked in water or milk, then blended it with cinnamon, sugar, and sometimes other ingredients to create a surprisingly refreshing drink.
  • Tepache de Piña (Fermented Pineapple Drink) While not strictly an agua fresca, tepache is a very similar drink in that it is made with fruit, water, and sugar.
