Agua Fresca de Naranja
6 servings
Easy agua de naranja recipe made with fresh oranges, water, and sugar. A classic Mexican orange agua fresca perfect for hot days.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 7 ½ cups water
- ⅓ cup sugar (read notes)
Instructions
- Pour the orange juice in a pitcher larger enough to contain about 8 cups of liquid.
- Add sugar and stir to dissolve it.
- Add the water to the pitcher and mix well.
- Adjust sugar to taste if needed.
- Serve in glasses with ice or place the pitcher in the fridge until the water is cold to your liking.
Notes
- Use fresh oranges for the best flavor, it really makes a difference here.
- Add sugar little by little and taste as you go so it doesn’t get too sweet.
- If your oranges are very sweet, you can skip a bit of the sugar or reduce it.
- Stir well before serving because the juice naturally settles at the bottom.
- Serve it very cold, it tastes way better that way.
