Ingredients
4 C. ripe strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 C. granulated sugar (you may not need any, depends on the fruit)
8 C. Water
Ice cubes (optional)
Preparation
Mash strawberries and 1 C. water in a bowl, add sugar to taste. Cover and put in the fridge for 4 hours to macerate. After maceration, put strawberry mixture in a blender and blend smooth. For a smoother agua fresca, strain through a mesh strainer into a pitcher or large jar, discard pulp and seeds. Add the remaining 7 C. water, mix well and chill.
