Aqua fresca is uplifting and energizing and the jalapeño gives this drink extra kick. Add as much or little jalapeño as you personally enjoy. This is a great non-alcoholic beverage to serve at a party.
What's great about jalapeños is that bugs hate the heat and don't like to munch on them, so they're not sprayed with as many chemicals, even if they aren't organic.
Agua Fresca
3 cups fresh watermelon
1 cup ice
1/3 cup fresh mint leaves
1 tbsp agave syrup
1/2 jalapeño, (about ½ tsp)
Method
1. Cut watermelon into manageable chunks and throw them into a blender.
2. Add the ice, the mint, agave syrup, and jalapeño. I highly recommend you seed and devein the ribs from the jalapeño, unless you want some extra kick. If you are timid, just use a quarter of the jalapeño to start.
3. Run your blender on high until everything is combined and slushy. Sip with pleasure.
