1. Cranberry Agua Fresca
There’s something innately better about using the word “fresca” instead of fresh. When you add it to the end of Cranberry Agua, it gets even better! This is a super low calorie, super satisfying drink for the summer.
12 ounces (3/4 pound) fresh cranberries (may use defrosted from frozen)
1/4 cup fresh mint (stems and leaves)
3 cups of water
Fresh cranberries for garnish (optional)
Fresh mint for garnish (optional)
Directions:
Mix the cranberries, water, and mint in a high powered blender on high for 3 minutes. You keep it in so long because you want the result to be completely smooth and dark red.
Pour the final mixture through a strainer into a large pitcher with ice.
