Cucumber-Lemon Agua Fresca
Well isn't the name very fancy???? Well that was the first reason I got attracted to it. I saw this in food network channel and fell in love with it. If you have been a regular follower you would know my love for juices. Any fresh fruits are my fav. This drink is called aqua fresco in Spanish because of the combination of fruits,seeds,water and sugar hmmm...what a fancy name right??? well the minute I saw it, I jumped to make it. Luckily I had all the things in my kitchen and made it fresh and enjoyed every bit of it. I love ginger in my lemon flavored drink so I added my own ginger pieces if you don't like it you can omit it.
