When you Retire in Mexico you Can Enjoy Delicious Fruit Flavored Water May 17
If you need something to convince you to finally retire in Mexico. I suggest that you consider the ‘small stuff.’ Little details such as fresh fruit might just make you decide to make your dream come true.
Imagine sipping a lightly sweetened, ice cool drink on a hot day. You put the drink to your lips and you taste real melon, or the tang of lemon aide, or something wild like the flavor of a flower petal, called Jamaica. In Mexico people make juice-like drinks, which they call agua (water) to accompany their meals that are probably what kool-aid was meant to be. Did our grandmothers make these drinks for our mothers and fathers but leave the next generation out? Anyway, Mexico has this one right.
Here’s How to Make “Waters”:
Wash, and chunk up any edible fruit. Toss the fruit* into the blender, fill the blender with water and run it like crazy. Pour the licquified fruit into a serving container. Add sugar to taste or more water, if desired. Put the drink into the fridge to cool or pour it over ice cubes^.
*Some fruits, such as guavas, go a long way and you only need to put a small amount into the blender. Other fruits, such as melon, you might want to add a couple of slices to the blender. You can pick the amount. Remember, you are not making a smoothie here — hey! good idea. I should write about smoothies in my next blog entry — you are making a water.
^Starting with cold fruit and cold water can also make the drink instantly cool.
