Basil Peach Agua Fresca

I love a good agua fresca on a hot day. It’s a nice nonalcoholic alternative when you want a drink that still feels like a treat. The base of agua fresca is fruit, water, and ice blended. You can vary the flavor by adding herbs and a squeeze of lime or lemon juice. Last year I posted a watermelon mint agua fresca and this year I decided to try peach with basil. Delicious and so refreshing.

4 fresh basil leaves

2 teaspoons agave
