What is Agua Fresca ?
Agua fresca is the Spanish term for “fresh water.” It’s a light and refreshing drink. It is popular in many Latin American countries. It is also popular in parts of the United States.
Aguas frescas or frescos or aguas, are light non-alcoholic beverages. They're made up of delicious fruits, mixed together with a bit of sugar and water. Sometimes they may contain seeds, cereals too.

The Food Story
I was intrigued by the name strawberry water. It is a simple, beverage to make. Just chop the fruits, mix with sugar and blend. Serve it with Ice and lemon juice. There is no easy recipe than this.
Check this amazing agua fresca made with dried hibiscus flower agua de jamaica. Another colorful, similar to agua fresca , cucumber cooler. This vibrant middle eastern limonana is a bomb of summer drink.
Living in a hot country, iced teas are something we love most part of the year. My favorite is this Ginger and lemon iced tea and Watermelon Iced tea in the season.

Without sugar it might not taste good bhawana. If the berries are sweet enough you can adjust the amount
