HOW TO MAKE REFRESHING MINT WATER AGUA FRESCA RECIPE

It's important for you to slow down and smell the roses or in this case your mint leaves. It's going to help refresh your body. Hello and welcome back amigos. I've been receiving a lot of messages that you guys are hot and not in a sexy way, although some of you are very sexy. But you guys know I was born in the Sonoran desert and it comes with perks. You learn how to stay cool during the hot summer months and today's recipe is going to do just that. It's going to keep you cooler than a cucumber. You should always stop to smell the roses. So those of you that have ADHD like me, remember to take it easy and slow down so that you can smell your mint leaves. Oh so refreshing. You want to start off with one tablespoon of sugar. This will get everybody in the house to drink it. Then you're going to squeeze the juice of one lime and you just want to give that a loving mix to dissolve the sugar. If you don't want to use sugar and you want to move quickly, one of the things that you can use, you can use one tablespoon of simple syrup or your favorite sugar alternative. They all work. I've tried it with each and every one of them but I love cane sugar. And for today's agua fresca, you're going to need about seven sprigs of mint. If you know anybody that grows mint and you call them and ask them for it, they're going to give you a big bag of it because once you plant mint, it can be a little bit of a nightmare because it will spread and your whole backyard will be filled with it. So if you know someone that plants mint, go ahead and give them a call. To your blender, you want to add about three sprigs of mint. You're going to fill the pitcher to the max. You'll see the line right there, don't go over it. You can also infuse your water overnight without having to blend but when you need a quick agua fresca, just throw your mint in there and blend until it's smooth. And boom done! As you can see when you blend it, you have the mint fibers and if you need extra fiber in your diet, go ahead and just drink it like this but if you want to sell this to the kids, you do have to strain it. You can tell them it's the Hulk Drink Slimer or it's going to make you really strong. And once you're done straining, you can add the remaining water all the way to the top. For those of you that love your family and your friends as much as I do, you can send them the link to this recipe. Another thing you can do is if you have any freezable bottles, you can fill it with this kind of agua fresca and then whenever they have to go let's say on a field trip or they work outside or the kids that are in class all day and some of the classrooms get really hot, as it thaws out, they can drink it and keep staying cool and refreshed. You know you gotta take care of those that you love. And with this weather, I'm gonna be drinking this all day. Can I bathe in this? And to garnish your water, you just want to slice your limes real thin but if they're too pricey and your kids chug the agua frescas, there's no point in giving them a garnish, only of their cuties. Smells like your abuela's garden in here. It does, it smells delicious. And boom done, I'm gonna need somebody very special to say ah. All I need is a hammock and I'm set. If you made it this far, it's because you didn't skip. Thank you, make sure to give me a thumbs up but you are going to have benefits for staying after class.
