Ingredients

4 servings
  • 3 small cucumbers, cut into chunks
  • 10 fresh basil leaves (or mint!)
  • 2 whole limes, unpeeled and cut into quarters
  • 1 tablespoon lemongrass paste or fresh lemongrass (can also use ginger)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 cups water + an additional 2 cups water later
  • ice for serving

Steps

  1. Blend the cucumbers, basil, limes, lemongrass, sugar, honey, and 2 cups water together until smooth-ish.

  2. Using a fine mesh strainer to catch all the pulp, pour the agua fresca into a pitcher. Discard pulp.

  3. Mix an additional 2 cups water into the pitcher. Store in the fridge and serve over ice! SO GOOD.
