Description
Creamy Strawberry Agua Fresca (Strawberries & Cream in a Glass)
When classic agua fresca meets strawberries-and-cream magic, you get this: silky, refreshing, lightly indulgent perfection. It’s bright and fruity like traditional agua fresca, but with a dreamy smoothness that makes every sip feel special.
Best part? You’re 10 minutes away from pouring it over ice.
Ingredients
-
1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled
-
1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
-
½ cup sweetened condensed milk (adjust to taste)
-
6 cups cold water, divided
-
Ice, for serving
-
½ cup diced fresh strawberries (optional garnish)
Instructions
1. Prep the Strawberries
Rinse and hull strawberries.
(Pro tip: Push a straw up through the bottom to pop the stem out cleanly.)
2. Blend the Creamy Base
In a blender, combine:
-
Strawberries
-
Evaporated milk
-
Sweetened condensed milk
-
2 cups cold water
Blend on high for 45–60 seconds until completely smooth.
3. Strain (Optional but Recommended)
Pour through a fine mesh strainer into a large pitcher.
This removes seeds and gives you an ultra-silky texture.
4. Add Remaining Water
Stir in the remaining 4 cups cold water.
Mix thoroughly.
5. Chill
Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
This step lets flavors fully meld and improves texture.
6. Serve
-
Fill glasses with ice
-
Stir pitcher well (separation is normal)
-
Pour and garnish with diced strawberries
Sip. Smile. Repeat.
Notes
-
For less sweet: use ⅓ cup condensed milk
-
Add 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice to brighten flavor
-
Taste before chilling and adjust
