Summer is on it's way!
What a better way to start this hot summer than staying hydrated with some agua fresca! Spanish for fresh waters,
agua
frescas are fresh fruit drinks that are very popular in Mexico! It can
be made with many different fruits, herbs, grains, seeds, etc.

It’s
a mixture of sweet mangos, super ripe cantaloupe with a hint of ginger
