Strawberry Orange Agua Fresca With Crystal Light Recipes

Steps:

• Add the strawberries, sugar, basil leaves and lemon juice to a blender; puree on high speed for 1 minute. Add 2 cups cold water and puree for an additional minute. Pour the mixture into a large pitcher and stir in another 2 cups cold water.
• Serve over ice.

Steps:

• Add the water to a large glass or plastic pitcher and ask your child to empty the packet of drink mix and let him or her stir with a spoon. While your child is working on the mixing of the agua fresca, you can cut the oranges and the strawberries following the safety precautions as you don't want your children using sharp knives. Then add few of the orange slices and the strawberry halves in the pitcher. Ask your child to add one slice of fresh orange and few strawberries per glass as well as few ice cubes. Place the glasses on the table and pour the agua fresca for all the family to enjoy a refreshing drink during the mealtime. And don't forget to brag about who made the agua fresca this time.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together sliced strawberries, sugar, and 1 cup of water. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
• Remove the strawberry mixture from the refrigerator and pour into a blender. Blend on high until smooth. Pour the blended berry mixture through a wire mesh strainer set over a large mixing bowl; discard the pulp and seeds.
• Add the remaining 7 cups cold water to the pureed strawberries and mix well. Place the Aqua de Fresa in the refrigerator to chill for several hours or pour over ice and serve immediately. Garnish with lime slices or mint leaves.
