This refined sugar free watermelon agua fresca is as healthy as it can get. It’s low in calories, plus you only need a few ingredients and 5 minutes to make this refreshing summer drink.
In a blender, blend watermelon, water and maple syrup until ready. Add 5 teaspoons lemon juice (or to taste) and stir. Taste it and add more syrup, if you like.
Strain (optional) and chill before serving.
Notes
You can add more water if you prefer less intense watermelon flavor. I recommend using bottled water.
Maple syrup can be omitted completely if your watermelon is sweet enough. You can also substitute it with white/brown sugar, honey or another sweetener of your choice.
If you don’t have lemon, use lime instead!
Watermelon agua fresca keeps well in the fridge. It will last for at least 3 days so you can make it ahead and enjoy whenever you like.
You should get about 27 ounces (800 milliliters) of agua fresca out of this recipe.
