FAQ:
Q: Is agua fresca made with fruit or water?
A: The Mexican drink agua fresca (“fresh water” or “cool water”) is made with water and fruit, but it is much more than just water and much different from the juice. Fruit juice is typically made by squeezing the liquid from the fruit; it may be somewhat diluted, but it is much more juice than water.
Q: How do you make Agua Fresca at home?
A: 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. Simply cut them into chunks and blend them with the water.
Q: Is agua fresca good for You?
A: Homemade agua fresca is made with natural ingredients, which makes it much more healthful than most store-bought drinks. You can also use your preferred sweetener, whether that’s sugar, piloncillo, stevia, or artificial sweetener, so it’s easy to adjust for your own dietary needs.
Q: What is the difference between Agua Fresca and tepache?
A: While not strictly an agua fresca, tepache is a very similar drink in that it is made with fruit, water, and sugar.
