These days a refreshing flavored water sounds appealing. Of course, there are always the classics like lemon, tamarind, or hibiscus, but today we want to recommend some more novel options. They will be perfect to accompany meals or even to enjoy a cool drink in the afternoon. In case you're interested, here’s our top 5: original aguas frescas.

Spicy Mango Water

This is a combination of flavors that we Mexicans love. The fresh fruit with the spiciness and acidity from the chili reminds us of our childhood. This water is not only delicious but also healthy and energizing, which is why we recommend it for kids to take in their lunch. If you want to use it for a picnic or even to hydrate while you're out and about, it would be ideal. See full recipe: http://www.kiwilimon.com/receta/bebidas/otros/agua-de-mango-enchilado

Oat Water

This sweet drink is super refreshing for hot days and adds a new flavor to your beverage repertoire. The interesting part is that you can play with cinnamon and even use a bit of vanilla extract to give this recipe a distinctive taste. It works perfectly as a breakfast drink alongside a fruit plate or even pancakes. See full recipe: http://www.kiwilimon.com/receta/bebidas/sin-alcohol/fresca-agua-de-avena

Carrot Water

Carrot juice is commonly seen in markets and restaurants, but you can also make a delicious, much lighter and fresher water. All you need to do is combine the flavor of carrot with cucumber and add lemon and sugar to taste. You will get a perfect spring drink that also helps boost your immune system thanks to its vitamin C and can even improve your tan because of the properties of carrots.

Alfalfa Water

This is a completely different recipe, but don't worry, the flavor is so good that even kids will love it. The main ingredients are alfalfa sprouts, mint, parsley, and cucumber, giving it an intense aroma and unmatched freshness. To top it off, alfalfa is rich in iron, making it a super healthy drink to start your day. We recommend drinking this water on the same day you prepare it to enjoy all its benefits.

Raspberry Chia Water

If you are looking for antioxidants mixed with an intense fruity flavor, then this water is for you. Raspberries themselves contain amino acids that help care for the skin, while chia is a super ingredient packed with Omega 3 that benefits the cardiovascular system. It can be prepared in five minutes and can be stored for a couple of days; remember it tastes best well chilled and with ice.
