Lactose Free Strawberry Lime Agua Fresca
Bright, juicy strawberries blended with fresh lime juice and a touch of maple syrup make for a drink that tastes like summer in a glass. The whole thing comes together in a blender, then gets strained into a pitcher so you're left with a silky-smooth, beautifully ruby-red agua fresca — no chunks, no fuss. A pinch of salt might sound unexpected, but it quietly sharpens every other flavor and keeps the sweetness from going flat. Because every single ingredient here is naturally free of dairy, there's nothing to swap or double-check — just pure, refreshing fruit and citrus. Poured over ice with a few lime slices on the rim, it's the kind of drink that disappears fast at any gathering. Adjust the maple syrup and lime to your taste before serving, because the best part of making it yourself is dialing it in exactly the way you like it.
