Notes

Use cold water: Starting with cold water will ensure the agua fresca is refreshing right from the blender without needing to be chilled further.
Adjust sweetness to taste: Begin with the recommended amount of sugar, then taste and adjust. Remember, the ripeness of your strawberries will affect the sweetness.
Experiment with citrus: While fresh lime juice is traditional, try lemon or even orange juice for a different twist.
Serve with ice: For an extra cool drink, serve your agua fresca over ice cubes.
Garnish options: Beyond lime and mint, consider garnishing with sliced strawberries or even a pinch of chili powder for contrast.
Blend well: Ensure the mixture is completely smooth for the best texture. If your blender isn't very powerful, you may need to blend for a longer period.
Strain for smoothness (optional): For an even smoother drink, strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove any remaining bits of strawberry seeds or pulp.
