Carrageenan Free Coconut Lime Agua Fresca

Bright, citrusy, and impossibly refreshing, this coconut lime agua fresca is the kind of drink that makes you feel like you're sitting somewhere warm with a breeze rolling in. The combination of coconut water and fresh lime juice is a natural match — lightly sweet, a little tart, and deeply hydrating. Carrageenan, a common additive used to thicken and stabilize packaged coconut beverages, can be tricky to avoid at the store, but this recipe sidesteps the issue entirely by keeping every ingredient clean and straightforward. Maple syrup adds just enough sweetness without any refined sugar, and a pinch of salt rounds out the flavors in a way that makes the whole thing taste more complex than the short ingredient list suggests. Blending and straining gives it that smooth, pourable texture you'd expect from a great agua fresca without any gums, stabilizers, or additives. Garnish with fresh mint and lime slices if you want to make it feel a little fancy — though honestly, it's stunning either way.
