Aqua Fresca...

A cool refreshing pick up for your hot thirsty moments...
Strawberry Vanilla Agua Fresca

- Makes 1 pitcher -

1 pound strawberries, hulled
4 cups ice-cold water, divided
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons sugar or Splenda
Ice, for serving

In your blender, combine the strawberries with 2 cups of the water and the vanilla extract. Puree until completely liquid. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or through cheesecloth into a pitcher. Stir in the remaining 2 cups water, lemon juice and sugar. Taste and adjust sugar to suit your preference. Pour into ice-filled glasses and serve. May use any berries or melon you like for something different.

Enjoy…
