What is "agua fresca"?

Agua fresca is a refreshing and light drink that originated in Mexico and is popular throughout Latin America. The name translates to "fresh water" in Spanish, and the drink is made from a combination of fresh fruit, water, and sugar. The fruit used can vary depending on the region and season, but popular options include watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple, and mango. The fruit is blended with water and sugar to create a sweet and flavorful drink that is served over ice. Agua fresca can also be made with other ingredients such as herbs, flowers, or grains, such as horchata, which is a rice-based agua fresca. It is a popular drink during hot weather and is often served at outdoor gatherings or as a complement to spicy foods.
