Equipment

1 large pitcher

Ingredients

▢ 2 ½ cups ripe mangos (cut into chunks)
▢ ¼ cup sugar (or your preferred sweetener)
▢ 1 lime (juice)
▢ 8 cups water
▢ ice cubes (for serving)

Instructions

Add the mango chunks to a blender.
Pour in sugar, lime juice, and 2 cups of water. Blend until completely smooth.
Taste the mango mixture and strain if you prefer a lighter texture.
Transfer to a large pitcher and mix with the remaining water.
Adjust sweetness or lime juice if needed.
Serve chilled over ice or refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

You can skip the sugar for a lighter mango agua fresca or use honey, stevia, or monk fruit.
Always use ripe mangoes for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
Frozen mangoes (about 3 cups) can be used instead of fresh fruit for a colder, thicker drink.
Add ice only when serving to avoid dilution in the pitcher.
This mango agua fresca can also be blended with pineapple, guava, or papaya for tropical variations.
Garnish with lime slices, mint, or diced mango for presentation.
