Instructions
Wash the kiwis very well and with a sharp knife carefully cut off the two ends of each fruit, this will help you to have a better balance when peeling it.
Peel them with the potato peeler, cut them into quarters and transfer them to a blender.
Blend them with the sugar and water until all the ingredients are well integrated.
I add the necessary sugar to balance with the kiwi’s natural acidity and the dilution from the water; however, you can prepare it without sugar if you prefer or use another type of sweetener.
Taste for sweetness and adjust if necessary. Pour into a pitcher and serve in glasses over ice.
In my personal opinion, it’s not necessary to strain it, the kiwi seeds are tiny and the agua fresca offers a delightful texture, but if you want a smoother drink, you can pass it through a strainer.
You can also play with the texture, if you want it thinner add more water, if you are looking for a classic, thicker, smoothie texture, use less water. If you want kiwi juice, just add enough water to blend the fruit. It’s up to you.
