Method

Wash the berries

Rinse the Strawberries under cold running water, rubbing them gently with your hands to remove any grit. Drain them well and spread them on a clean towel or paper towels so excess water doesn’t dilute the drink too much.

Hull and chop

Remove the green tops from the strawberries, then cut the berries into halves or quarters. The pieces do not need to be perfect—just small enough that they blend easily and evenly.

Blend the fruit

Add the chopped strawberries to a blender with the Water. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed, until the mixture looks completely smooth and evenly pink with no large fruit pieces left.

Whisk the milks

In a large bowl or measuring jug, whisk together the Sweetened Condensed Milk, Evaporated Milk, and Whole Milk until fully combined and smooth. Make sure the condensed milk is completely dissolved so the drink has an even creamy sweetness throughout.

Assemble the pitcher

Fill a large pitcher with the Ice Cubes. Pour in the milk mixture first, then slowly add the strawberry puree while stirring gently so the drink blends into a creamy, even pink mixture. Taste and, if you prefer a slightly lighter texture, stir in a splash more cold water.

Chill and serve

Cover the pitcher and refrigerate until very cold, about 30 minutes. Give the agua fresca a thorough stir before serving, since the fruit and milk can settle a little as it chills. Pour into glasses with extra ice if you like and serve cold.
