Strawberry Agua fresca

To make Strawberry Agua Fresca, start by blending 2 cups of sliced strawberries with 4 cups of fresh water and 1 tablespoon of vanilla essence until smooth. You can strain the mixture if you prefer a smoother drink. In a separate container, combine 1 cup of evaporated milk, 1 cup of fresh milk, 1 can of condensed milk, and 1 cup of ice cubes. Mix everything well, and if desired, add some sliced strawberries for texture. Serve chilled and enjoy!

No, traditional Strawberry Agua Fresca contains dairy ingredients like evaporated milk, fresh milk, and condensed milk, making it unsuitable for a vegan diet. However, you can easily make a vegan version by substituting these dairy products with plant-based alternatives such as almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk, and using a vegan sweetener instead of condensed milk.

If you don't have evaporated milk on hand, you can substitute it with an equal amount of coconut milk or a mixture of regular milk and heavy cream. For a dairy-free option, consider using unsweetened almond milk or cashew cream, which will still provide a creamy texture to your Strawberry Agua Fresca.

To store leftover Strawberry Agua Fresca, pour it into an airtight container and refrigerate. It should stay fresh for up to 3 days. However, keep in mind that the texture may change slightly due to the separation of ingredients. Shake or stir well before serving again. If you notice any off smells or flavors, it's best to discard it.

Strawberry Agua Fresca pairs wonderfully with light snacks such as tortilla chips with salsa, fresh fruit platters, or even a refreshing salad. For a more indulgent option, consider serving it alongside creamy desserts like cheesecake or strawberry shortcake to complement the fruity flavors of the drink.
