Has anyone made agua fresca? Looks very refreshing.

DD has made the cucumber water--with lime. And it IS delicious.
And I have made horchata after having it at a little grill place in Denver run by a lovely Mexican family. Made it for granddaughters who were little at the time because they like it.
. An agua de pepino (cucumber water) yields the same pale green that my great-grandmother painted her kitchen cabinets, and a flavor so refreshing it tastes like spring.

I like them. Every taco joint on every corner around here makes at least a couple.
I like horchata, jamaica (tastes like sweet red zinger tea) and fresa (strawberry.) The cucumber and watermelon ones make me too burpy. The jamaica is really easy. Steep the flowers and add sugar and water. You can even buy bottles of flor de jamaica concentrate in bottles at the grocery store here. Latin groceries usually have little bags of the dried flowers in the bagged spice section.

Wow...flashback time! E_in_SF introduced us to those decades ago. And then
after Gail's Swap had a huge discussion on them, Gourmet magazine ran it in their 2003 issue....months after we were already enjoying the concept thanks to E.
I seem to recall watermelon being a frequent one. Those NM versions sound amazing.
Now why can I remember that, but have not clue what day of the week it is???

Not myself, but they are everywhere and I got the cafeteria mgr to
Make them. I wanted them served at breakfast meetings and they were such a hit the cafeteria manager started offering them full-time in the cafeteria at work.
They pretty much been in every Mexican war restaurant here on the West Coast since I was a little kid.
