Ingredients

  • 3 cups washed, hulled and cut strawberries
  • 3 cups cold water
  • ½ cup honey or agave (see notes)
  • ¾ cup original Nutpods or full-fat coconut milk (see notes)
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth.
  2. If you like you can strain the agua fresca using a fine mesh sieve but it is not necessary.
  3. Pour the drink into a pitcher or bottle and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour until cold. You can also serve over ice and garnish with pieces of strawberry.
  4. Store any leftover agua fresca in a covered container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.

Notes

  • If dairy isn't a problem for you, you can use evaporated milk.
  • For another dairy version, skip the sweetener and use sweetened condensed milk instead. Start with about ¼ cup and add more as needed for sweetness.
  • Use coconut cream instead of Nutpods or coconut milk for an even creamier result. Just note that you may need to add a bit more water if the end result is too thick.
  • Nutpods also sells a French vanilla flavor that goes great with this recipe too.

  • I prefer to use unrefined sugars, such as monk fruit sweetener, honey, coconut sugar or agave nectar, which are a little less processed and retain more minerals. However, you can use white sugar if you prefer.
