Mexico is known for it’s “agua fresca” which literally means “fresh water” but you’ll soon find out it’s so much more than water.

The streets of Mexico are filled with vendors selling agua fresca on hot summer days to help cool you down and stay refreshed! The flavors are endless but some of the traditional flavors you’ll find are Horchata, Tamarindo, and Jamaica. They are made using a combination of fresh fruit, flowers, grains, and a syrup.
