  • Today I am making a fresh water drink that is perfect for the Spring or Summer weather. This is agua fresca de pepino or fresh cucumber water. The ratios of the ingredients are very forgiving and depend on your taste. Whether you like is sweet or with out sugar is up to you. This definitely is refreshing!

    While on my “quarantine work break”, I made a small batch of this to try out. I didn’t have much sugar so I added a little agave syrup and listen! It’s so tasty and refreshing. I will be making a bigger batch later. Thanks 😉

      Watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberry, blueberry any flavor makes a great agua fresca!! Slowly I've been cutting back the amount of sugar I use. And now, if I want, I can make it without any additional sugar and my kids don't complain one bit, but I do sweeten it every once in a while.

      Agave syrup I think is a way better option than sugar! My father will not eat refined sugar he thinks it’s the devil lol so I have to use agave haha

      @@april6081 maple syrup, dates, coconut sugar/syrup and honey are not bad either. honey tastes drastically different depending on source.

    Accidentally mistook a pair of zucchini for cucumbers😅 added a bit of sugar and the juice and zest from a lime and it came out really tasty and refreshing!

    Yum! I do have some cucumbers in the fridge that need to be used! A suggestion. You can make a sugar syrup by dissolving the sugar in part of the water you are going to use (like a cup is fine). Just boil and stir in the sugar until dissolved, then mix into your agua fresca. You won't have to worry about the sugar settling on the bottom!

    As a personal preference, I hardly add any sugar to mine.

The whole drink is about 5 -6 cups of water..I pour boiling water over a cup of hibiscus tea leaves and wait ten minutes, and cool down to the cucumber water, add ice, to both pitcher and glass.

    I see some people complaining about the sugar content. Well let me awaken you, if you buy juices or drink mixes from the store like lemonade or kool-aid. Do you not realize the sugar in those drinks!!! 🤯.
    The amount she's putting in here, honestly is way way less then what those have. AND THIS IS HOMEMADE!
