Refreshing Prickly Pear Fruit Water
Prickly pear fruit water is a sweet and refreshing beverage! This non-alcoholic drink (agua de tuna) is one of my favorites in the early fall!
Ingredients
- 4 prickly pear fruits, outer skin removed (about 1 pound 3 ounces before the skins are removed)
- 7 cups water divided
- 1/2 cup sugar
Instructions
- In a blender, place prickly pear fruits and 1 cup of water. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and no chunks of fruit remain.
- Strain the mixture into a pitcher through a fine sieve to remove the seeds
- Add remaining water and sugar
- Stir to dissolve sugar and refrigerate until chilled, or serve over ice
Notes
- This drink will keep about 2 days in the fridge.
