Gondo Agua Fresca

Ingredients

  • 3 cups of gondo
  • 1 liter of water (or to taste)
  • Sweetener (optional)

Directions

  1. Place the gondo in a bowl and 2 cups of water. Use your hands to squeeze the fruit off and separate it from the seeds.
  2. Strain and add the rest of the water. You can decide how much more water you need. Remember, the more concentrated the juice, the more medicinal; more water will provide a delightful agua fresca.
  3. Some think the fruit tastes like honey but you may decide for yourself if it needs to be sweetened.

 

Note: Make it and drink it within the first two days of collection, unless you wish to make vinegar or wine.
