Great for winter get-togethers, this Tangerine Mint Agua Fresca features the right balance of flavors and makes for an easy sipping. A sprinkling of sugar and a few fresh mint leaves surprisingly elevates this wintry citrus drink. To serve, garnish with extra slices of fruit and mint, and enjoy very cold.
This nonalcoholic drink is an easy mix of freshly squeezed tangerine juice, water, mint, and sugar. Making your own freshly squeezed tangerine juice does take a bit of time, but the flavor will be far more superior to typical store-bought juice. Since tangerines have varying amounts of sweetness, feel free to adjust the sugar amount to taste. Chill well before serving
Wash the tangerines, then slice them in half. Use a juicer to squeeze the juice out and discard the seeds.
In a pitcher, combine the tangerine juice, 4 cups water, 4 tablespoons minced mint leaves, and 6 tablespoons sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
Transfer to the fridge to chill.
Serve with ice cubes, extra slices of fruit and mint springs. Enjoy!
