[ INSTRUCTIONS ]

1. For a very lightly flavored agua fresca, just mix :
   
   2 Cups Fruit, Chopped;
   4 Cups Water;
   together. Done!
2. Obviously, if you want more fruit flavor, then use less water;
   if you want less flavor, then use more water.
3. Run the agua fresca through a blender, however.
4. If you want the drink to be clear, strain the pulpy leftovers of the fruit after blending.
5. If you’re using blueberries or oranges or other fruit with a skin, you’ll almost certainly want to strain it.
6. For some fruits, you can also choose to leave the pulp: it’s particularly great when making a melon agua fresca since it mostly disappears.
7. Serve over ice.
8. Try some of the different variations or whatever fruits you like!
