Instruções

1. 1

   Preparar

   Prepare os ingredientes.

   Very ripe, in-season fruit needs little added sugar, so taste it first.

2. 2

   Cozinhar

   Cozinhe em fogo médio até ficar pronto.

3. 3

   Temperar

   Tempere com sal e pimenta.

   Skip straining for a thicker, more rustic agua with more fibre.

4. 4

   Servir

   Sirva quente.

5. 5

   Add lime and salt

   Stir in the fresh lime juice and a tiny pinch of salt. The lime brightens the fruit and the salt sharpens the sweetness, giving the drink its characteristic lively, mouth-watering quality.

   A pinch of salt makes the fruit flavour pop without tasting salty.

6. 6

   Chill and taste

   Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, then taste and adjust, adding more sugar, lime or water as needed. Flavours mellow as the drink chills, so a final tweak before serving is worthwhile.

7. 7

   Serve over ice

   Fill tall glasses with ice and pour the agua fresca over. Garnish with a lime slice and a sprig of mint. Stir before each pour, as the fruit naturally settles toward the bottom of the pitcher.
