Pecan Free Blueberry Lemon Agua Fresca
Fresh blueberries and bright lemon juice come together in this refreshing agua fresca that tastes like summer in a glass. The deep purple color alone is enough to make everyone at the table ask what's in it, and the answer is beautifully simple. Maple syrup adds just enough natural sweetness without overpowering the tart citrus, and a pinch of salt quietly ties the whole thing together. Blending everything smooth and then straining it through a fine-mesh sieve gives you a silky, pulp-free drink that feels almost fancy with zero real effort. It's naturally free from tree nuts of any kind — no swaps or substitutions needed, just wholesome fruit and pantry staples doing their thing. Serve it over a big pile of ice with a few lemon slices floating on top and it looks like something you'd pay way too much for at a café.
