Close the blender lid and blend until everything is broken down.

Storing Suggestions

My Pineapple Cucumber Agua fresca is best served immediately once cooled. I do sometimes make an extra batch and save it in the fridge for the next day. Because it’s made with fresh fruit which tends to oxidize, it’s best not to keep agua fresca’s for too long. One day in the frdige at most. Just make sure to stir it well before serving.
