This agua fresca is not worth the effort. It's not very flavorful and it's not very refreshing.

I found that this agua fresca was a bit bland. I would recommend adding some lime juice or another type of fruit juice to give it more flavor.

This agua fresca is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or honey.

I made this agua fresca with honeydew melon instead of watermelon and it was also very good. I think you could use any type of melon in this recipe.

I added a little bit of lime juice to my agua fresca and it was delicious! It gave it a nice tart flavor.

This agua fresca is a great way to use up leftover watermelon. I always have some leftover watermelon after a party or picnic, and this is a great way to use it up.
