Prep time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

• 3 fresh pitayas (dragon fruit)
• 6 cups water
• ½ cup cane sugar or agave
• 2 limes

Directions:

1. First, cut the pitayas in half and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Add the pulp to a blender along with the lime juice, sweetener of choice, and 3-4 cups of water.

2. Blend on high until no chunks of fruit remain, then pour the mixture into a jar or pitcher. Add the rest of the water and stir. Taste and adjust the sweetener to your preferences.

3. Transfer to your fridge to chill for a few hours, or serve your agua de pitahaya immediately over ice with lime, lemon, or more pitaya wedges. Enjoy!
