MANGO LIME AGUA FRESCA
I have a huge weakness for Mexican food. Every time I have lunch on a mexican restaurant I love the hundreds of spicy, acid and sweet flavors and how they combine.
One of the virtues of Mexican gastronomy are their drinks, perfect to refresh our summer days on this hot summer.
In this case I tried to prepare an agua fresca, that is basically use fresh fruit to prepare a refreshing and delicious drink with lots of ice. In my case I prepared it for a breakfast with some friends and we all loved it. It’s really easy to prepare and the perfect touch for a special breakfast-dinner.
The recipe ingredients are lime and mango juice. If you have the opportunity to use fresh mango and a nice blender it would be delicious, but if it’s not mango season or you can find, packing mango juice could be an option.
My inspiration for this recipe comes from the aguas frescas recipes on the book Tacos Gourmet, an amazing book with Mexican inspired recipes.
