Homemade Vitamin Water

This is called "agua" in Mexico. When someone offers you "agua" in Mexico it may not actually be a glass of clear drinking water but rather water with a single blended fruit. Papaya, watermelon, and guava are all popular. Generally, these are strained before serving. The melons however don't really need straining to have a smooth, non-grainy texture.

Equipment:
Blender

Ingredients:
Water (fit to drink)
Melon (your choice)
Sweetner (your choice)

Remove melon rind. Remove seeds if desired. Cut melon into small chunks suitable to put in a blender. Have an empty pitcher or 4L/1Gal empty water jug with funnel available. Blend the melon chunks with water. You may have severl blender-pitcherfuls. :) Make as dilute or concentrated as you like. Sweeten to taste.

If you make more than you can consume in 3 hours you might want to refrigerate to keep from spoiling.
