Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

In a high-powered blender, combine 2 pounds of the diced strawberries with the chilled water. Blend until completely smooth, creating a vibrant strawberry puree. (5 minutes)

02

Step

3 mins

Pour the strawberry puree into a large pitcher. Add the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated and the mixture is smooth and homogenous. (3 minutes)

03

Step

2 mins

Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness as needed, adding sugar a little at a time until you reach your desired level of sweetness. Remember that the sweetness will mellow slightly as the agua fresca chills. (2 minutes)

04

Step

2 mins

Add the ice cubes to the pitcher and stir well to chill the agua fresca. Gently fold in the remaining 1/2 pound of diced strawberries, reserving some for garnish if desired. (2 minutes)

05

Step

30 mins

Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the agua fresca to become perfectly chilled. (30 minutes)

06

Step

2 mins

Before serving, stir gently. Pour into glasses filled with ice and garnish with a few reserved diced strawberries or a sprig of mint, if desired. Enjoy immediately! (2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lime juice to the agua fresca. The acidity will brighten the overall taste and complement the sweetness of the strawberries.
If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more water until you reach your desired consistency.
To make this dairy-free, substitute the condensed and evaporated milk with plant-based alternatives like coconut condensed milk and oat milk.
For best results, use the ripest, sweetest strawberries you can find. The quality of the strawberries will greatly impact the flavor of the agua fresca.
