Agua Fresca de Fresa Cremosita, also known as Agua de Fresa Con Leche, is a refreshing and sweet strawberry milk made with very few ingredients. I came across this creamy and delicious drink while watching food YouTuber, @LoveKariCooking.

Agua Frescas can be traced back to the Aztecs who made sweet drinks using fruits and flowers. Agua Fresca translates directly to "fresh water."

There are many flavors of agua frescas, including watermelon, mango, honeydew, lemon, and lime. Today we are making a creamy, fresh strawberry aqua fresca.
