Lágrimas De La Virgen Beet Agua Fresca With Fruits Recipes

LáGRIMAS DE LA VIRGEN (BEET AGUA FRESCA WITH FRUITS)

Steps:

• Peel the beets. Cut them into chunks and pass them through a juicer.
• Combine the water and sugar in a pitcher and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Add the beet juice.
• Refrigerate until completely chilled. Add the apple, banana, orange, and lettuce, then stir in the lime juice (which will help prevent the fruit from browning). Serve chilled over ice, if desired.
• Alternately, divide the mixed diced fruit among the glasses; place the beet water in a pitcher for guests to pour over.

• If you don't have a juicer, put the unpeeled beets in a baking pan, cover with foil, and roast at 375°F until fork-tender. Let sit until cool enough to handle, then peel them with your hands (the skins will slip off easily). Blend the roasted beets with some of the water. Proceed with the recipe as written.
