Agua de Mazapán
6 servings
This delicious and refreshing drink is made of peanut candies (Mazapan), evaporated milk, and vanilla. A sweet and cool agua fresca that's ready in 5 minutes and is perfect for hot days.
Ingredients
- 8 Mexican mazapanes (1 oz each)
- 6 cups water
- 12 oz evaporated milk (1 can)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup sugar
For serving
- ice
- cinnamon powder (optional)
Instructions
- Unwrap the mazapanes and add them to a blender.
- Pour in the evaporated milk, vanilla, and 2 cups of water. Blend until everything looks smooth and creamy and the mazapan is completely dissolved.
- Transfer the mixture to a large pitcher and add the rest of the water.
- Add the sugar, stir well, and taste. Add a little more if you like it sweeter.
- Serve over plenty of ice and finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon if you want that extra touch.
Notes
- This agua fresca is best served very cold, right after chilling or freshly mixed over ice.
- It keeps well in the fridge for about 2–3 days. Just stir before serving since the mazapan can settle at the bottom.
- Taste before adding extra sugar, mazapan is already naturally sweet.
