Drink THIS!

I know, you don't like the "taste of water". But you have to drink it! Look, if you've been feeding those tastebuds an abundance of sugary drinks and diet sodas, than yes, your tastebuds are going to despise water! YOU must retrain those "buds" and a great way to do that is to start with "aqua fresca", a delicious sweet fruit water that you can easily make yourself. Trade those extra calorie beverages for some good for you food, and refresh your tastebuds with a new outlook on WATER!

Watermelon FRESCA

Ingredients

• 1 large cantaloupe or half a watermelon, seeded and diced (about 3 cups)
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 2 to 4 tablespoons sugar OR 4 Tbs Honey or Agave Nectar
• 2 to 3 limes, juiced

Directions

This and other similar fruit drinks, which translate literally as "fresh water," are served all over Mexico and they're a cinch to replicate at home. The key is to strain the pulpy fruit to make a clearer liquid. Instead of melon, you could use strawberries, pineapple, or mango -- any fruit that is soft enough to puree.
Puree cantaloupe and pour through a fine sieve to eliminate pulp. In a pitcher, mix strained fruit puree with water and season with sugar and lime juice, to taste.
