To say that it’s been hot here in Toronto this July is, as usual, a gross understatement. And when the temperatures soar like this, hydration is key. Water gets boring so this month I’m highlighting a collection of Five Fruity Aguas Frescas to keep you cool and refreshed. Aguas frescas are essentially fruit blended with water, so they are perfect thirst-quenchers when you find yourself feeling parched.
They’re also a tasty way to enjoy locally-grown fruit in season. And I ask you, who hasn’t bought a huge watermelon and then not known what to do with half of it? My Watermelon Mint Agua Fresca provides a delicious solution to this dilemma.
Sign up to my newsletter today to receive the recipes for these Five Fruity Aguas Frescas.
And read on for more on aguas frescas and how they:
- make excellent electrolyte beverages when summer gets sweaty,
- are perfect patio/party sippers.
I’ll sign off for summer with a link to my previous post, Tips for a Hot Bod, for my other suggestions for keeping cool. I wish you a ton of fun in the sun this summer and I’ll see you in September!
