Hibiscus Watermelon Agua Fresca

by Anna Mariani Leave a Comment

Watermelon Agua Fresca

Agua fresca is a thirst-quenching Mexican beverage made with pureed fruit, water and lime juice. Start with juicy, ripe fruit. To take it up a notch, I used Numi Holistic Hibiscus (Embrace) Teasan, a deliciously tangy, floral and spicy blend that celebrates love and shines with bright hibiscus flavor.

The color of this refreshing agua fresca is seriously stunning. Get ready for a bit of summertime in a glass!

Author: The Tea Squirrel
Recipe type: Drinks
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 cups seedless watermelon, diced
  • 1 ½ cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 + 2 Numi Hibiscus (Embrace) teabags
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon raw honey, or more to taste
  • A pinch of dried hibiscus flowers
  • A pinch of ground cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Steep 1 Numi Hibiscus tea bag in 1 ½ cups boiling water, covered, for 10 minutes. Discard tea bag, let cool and fill an ice cube mold with Hibiscus tea. Freeze for a few hours until solid. By using Hibiscus tea to make ice cubes, your agua fresca is going to be more flavorful (instead of watered down) as the ice cubes melt.
  2. Separately, steep 2 Numi Hibiscus tea bags in 1 ½ cups boiling water, covered, for 10 minutes. Discard tea bags and let cool.
  3. In the carafe of your blender, add cooled Hibiscus tea, diced watermelon, sliced strawberries, lime juice and honey. Blend. Strain. Pour in cocktail glasses over previously prepared Hibiscus tea ice cubes.
  4. Garnish with a pinch of dried hibiscus flowers and a pinch of ground cinnamon. Serve immediately and enjoy!

🌱 Why do grades of tea matter? The larger the leaf, the greater its surface area for steeping and the more complex the infusion. Numi uses only hand-plucked, fuller leaf quality tea for a pure taste that balances depth and nuance. Many bagged teas are machine-picked and use low-quality fannings and dust. Smaller grades release tannins more quickly, leading to a dark, bitter-tasting cup. Wake up with fuller leaf teas that steep slowly and evenly, delivering a smooth, rich flavor. When you drink our tea, you’ll immediately taste the difference. ☕️ Find our Breakfast Blend and over 40 delicious organic blends on our Amazon store. Link in bio.
