Best Cantaloupe Lime Agua Fresca With Chia Seeds Recipes
CANTALOUPE-LIME AGUA FRESCA WITH CHIA SEEDS
A light, refreshing blender drink that is sweet and a little bit tart. Although I make this in a blender, I think it qualifies as an agua fresca rather than a smoothie, as it is made with pure fruit, enriched with a spoonful of soaked chia seeds. The flavor of the drink will only be as good as your melon, so seek out the best cantaloupe, or other sweet orange melon, you can find. I don't add sweetener to the drink, but you can if you think it needs a little something.

AGUA DE LIMóN CON CHíA (LIMEADE WITH CHIA SEEDS)
This limeade is made using the whole lime, which gives it a slight bitterness, but trust me: it's so good you won't want to make it any other way.

Steps:
- Put the limes, water, and sugar in a blender and pulse 3 to 4 times, just enough to extract the juice from the limes but not crush the skins (which would make the drink too bitter). Strain through a fi ne-mesh sieve into a pitcher. Taste and add more sugar if you like.
- Whisk in the chia seeds and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, until completely chilled. Stir before serving, then serve over ice.
