Last summer I posted my Melon Agua Fresca using passport melons fresh from our garden but those melons are just starting to come in so I’ve been buying some gorgeous local cantaloupes and making my drinks.
I make a full pitcher so that I can enjoy my drinks for a few days. With the hot temperatures we’ve had this summer often hovering right at 100F, I just can’t get enough of all my summer drinks, Watermelon Frosty, Mango Lassi, Mint Lassi and this Cantaloupe Agua Fresca. I hope that you’re enjoying summer and sipping on something cool and delicious!
1 perfectly ripe cantaloupe, skin & seeds removed and cut in chunks
6 packets (or to taste) stevia (or sweetener of your choice)
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice
2 cups water
fresh mint sprigs for garnish
Place half of all the ingredients (except the garnish mint sprigs) in a blender and process until very smooth. Pour into a pitcher and then repeat with the other half of the ingredients. Chill until very cold. Before serving give it a stir and then pour over ice, garnish with a sprig of mint and serve.
Enjoy!!
Lisa, this is printed and ready to go. I must pick up a nice cantalope. Could I do this with honey dew?
ReplyDeleteAny fresh, ripe melon works wonderfully for agua fresca.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy.
This chirps of freshness and just what I need for our weather right now. You should link it up to my friday night drink linky over at Foodness Gracious if you have time, people would love it!!
ReplyDeleteNeed to give this a go with these over 100 degree days here in Houston. We all love cantaloupe so I'm sure this would be well received. Love that this is so versatile with any melon as well. Great recipe. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color! I'm drinking some Peach Agua Fresca right now....seriously can't get enough of any type of fresh waters! :D
ReplyDeleteThat sounds so completely refreshing. What a wonderful drink!!
ReplyDeleteHmm, I've never had a drink with any melon in it. Looks interesting and very summery.
