Recipe: agua buena, fabulous summer beverage

(Version française)

Bottle of water with slices of lemon and leaves of mint. A small glass is full of the beverage, next to a lime cut in two and a few leaves of mint.
  • Lemon(s) (or lime)
  • Cane sugar syrup
  • Mint in branches

My favourite beverage

A long time ago after a trip to southern Spain, I brought back with me the recipe of the agua buena (good water) which is really good, particularly in summer.

  • Squeeze the lemon or lime juice and pour in a bottle
  • Pour as much cane sugar syrup
  • Add water
  • Insert branches of mint in the bottle (tip: cut branches as tall as your bottle and put them upside down so that you can fish them out easily)
  • Sample and adjust to your taste
  • Put in the fridge at least an hour
  • Tada!
