Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix together sliced strawberries, sugar and 1 cup of water. Wrap it up and keep refrigerated for 4 hours.
Remove the strawberry mix from the refrigerator after 4 hours and blend on high until smooth.
Pour the blended strawberry mixture through a wire mesh strainer and collect over a large mixing bowl. Discard the seeds and the pulp.
Now add the remaining 7 cups of cold water to this strained drink along with the lemon wedges and the mint leaves. However, both are optional. It tastes great even without these. I added only lemon.

Recipe Notes

Additional Tips

For a sparkling twist, replace some or all of the cold water with chilled club soda or sparkling mineral water just before serving to add effervescence without diluting the fruity flavor.
If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove strawberry seeds and pulp before chilling.
For a vibrant brunch presentation, serve the agua de fresca in clear pitchers with sliced strawberries, lime wheels, and fresh mint sprigs floating in the drink for a colorful, inviting look.
To infuse deeper mint flavor, muddle a few mint leaves with the sugar before blending, or let the finished drink rest with a handful of mint leaves in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
