Turn sweet summertime watermelon into a thirst-quenching beverage sure to make you thirsty for seconds.
Meaning “fresh water” in Spanish, an agua fresca is a chilled beverage made from blending water and sweetener with fruit — in this case, watermelon.
“It’s kind of a watermelon milkshake,” David Brooks, from the Made in Oklahoma Coalition, told Nexstar’s KFOR.
