Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
- Juice of 2 fresh limes
- 4 cups (960 ml) cold water
- 2 to 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1 to 1½ teaspoons Tajín Clásico seasoning
- Ice cubes, for serving
Instructions
- Peel and chop 2 large ripe mangoes into chunks (about 5 minutes).
- Add mango chunks and 4 cups cold water to a blender. Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the mango-water mixture into a pitcher. Stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste) and 1 to 1½ teaspoons Tajín seasoning. Add fresh lime juice from 2 limes and stir well.
- Chill the pitcher in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld. If in a hurry, add ice cubes to glasses when serving.
- Serve over ice, garnished with a lime wedge or a light dusting of Tajín on top. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
If the agua fresca is too thick after chilling, stir in a splash more cold water. Do not blend ice cubes to avoid diluting flavor; add ice cubes to glasses only. Substitute agave syrup or honey for sugar for a natural sweetener. Tajín can be replaced with a mix of chili powder, lime zest, and salt if unavailable. Frozen mango can be used but thaw slightly before blending.
