Author's Notes

Agua fresca can be too tart without sugar. I’m a huge fan of tart drinks, so I usually go lighter on sugar and you can too! It’s easily adjustable – add more after blending if it’s too tart for your preference. Use any type of sweetener. While I used turbinado sugar, try maple syrup, honey, coconut sugar, or simple syrup.

If you can’t find mint or don’t like mint, you can definitely leave it out. A good substitute would be basil, for a more savory taste.
