Creamy Strawberry Agua Fresca
This Creamy Strawberry Agua Fresca is a dairy-free version of the deliciously refreshing Mexican drink. In this recipe, only 4 simple ingredients, including fresh strawberries, are blended together for a sweet, smooth, and frothy agua de fresa.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 cups washed, hulled and cut strawberries
- 3 cups cold water
- ½ cup honey or agave (see notes)
- ¾ cup original Nutpods or full-fat coconut milk (see notes)
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth.
- If you like you can strain the agua fresca using a fine mesh sieve but it is not necessary.
- Pour the drink into a pitcher or bottle and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour until cold. You can also serve over ice and garnish with pieces of strawberry.
- Store any leftover agua fresca in a covered container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
Notes
- If dairy isn't a problem for you, you can use evaporated milk.
- For another dairy version, skip the sweetener and use sweetened condensed milk instead. Start with about ¼ cup and add more as needed for sweetness.
- Use coconut cream instead of Nutpods or coconut milk for an even creamier result. Just note that you may need to add a bit more water if the end result is too thick.
- Nutpods also sells a French vanilla flavor that goes great with this recipe too.
- I prefer to use unrefined sugars, such as monk fruit sweetener, honey, coconut sugar or agave nectar, which are a little less processed and retain more minerals. However, you can use white sugar if you prefer.
