How to Make Cherry Lime Chia Agua Fresca

CHERRY LIME CHIA AGUA FRESCA

Hola Hola! Happy Thursday!

Today I’m sharing another recipe from my new cookbook, Chicano Eats: Recipes from My Mexican-American Kitchen, for my Cherry Lime Chia Agua Fresca from the Drinks chapter! It’s a really easy recipe that comes together in less than 10 minutes, and it is an agua fresca you can make year-round because frozen dark sweet cherries are perfect for this! (Trader Joes has the best frozen cherries!)

This is a recipe that was inspired by the traditional Agua de Chia, (Chia Agua) that you typically find in the mercados and tinaguis in Mexico that consists of water, fresh lime juice, cane sugar and chia seeds. It’s very refreshing and my simple twist introduces sweet dark cherries to balance out the tartness from the lime juice. Did I mention this is also perfect with a shot of vodka or tequila?

You can watch a short tutorial I shared on Instagram on how to make this agua fresca here!

I’m keeping it short today, but if you happen to make this agua fresca, tag me and send me pictures. I love watching my recipes come to life!
