Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

4 cups cold water

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

2-3 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Ice cubes

Instructions
 

Begin by placing the sliced strawberries and diced mango into a high-speed blender. Pour in 1 cup of cold water to assist with blending. Blend the mixture on high until it reaches a smooth consistency, ensuring all fruit is well puréed.

    To create a smoother drink, strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher, using a spatula or spoon to gently press down on the pulp and ensure all liquid passes through, leaving behind any solids.

      Once the juice is strained, add the remaining 3 cups of cold water to the pitcher. Stir in the freshly squeezed lime juice and the honey or agave syrup. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness as necessary, adding more honey or syrup if desired.

        Mix the agua fresca thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined and the flavors are evenly distributed.

          Serve the refreshing drink in tall glasses filled with ice cubes. For an elegant touch, garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves to enhance both flavor and presentation.
