How to make Melon chia Fresca Recipe - A fresca is a popular drink among people of Mexican and South American cultures. The beverage usually consists of either a blend of fresh fruit juices and diced fruit or juice combined with chia seeds. The tasty concoctions do not only impart a juicy and sweet succulent flavor, they also promote well-being with their nourishing and vitalizing nutrients. In this melon variation, I’ve selected watermelon for its intoxicating sugary flavor, which plays oh so well with fresh mint and tangy lime.
Yield: approximately two 12-ounce (355 ml) frescas
Ingredients:
1/4 cup (60 ml) water
2 teaspoons (5 g) chia seeds
1 1/2 cups (225 g) seedless watermelon, rough chopped
1 cup (235 ml) coconut water
1/2 lime, juiced
1 small handful fresh mint
8 ice cubes
Method:
In a small glass jar, combine the water and chia seeds and let rest for ten minutes. Stir and allow to rest ten minutes more.
Meanwhile, in a blender, combine the watermelon, coconut water, lime juice, mint, and ice. Blend on high for 20 seconds.
Transfer to a large jar. Stir in the chia seeds with their soaking water. Divide between two glasses. Enjoy immediately and sip slowly.
