Texas Honey-Lemon Agua Fresca with Mint & Jalapeño

Serves 4 | Ready in 10 minutes

Cool, citrusy, and just the right amount of bold—this sweet-and-spicy agua fresca is made with organic lemons, fresh mint, and a gentle kick of jalapeño heat. It's summer in a glass, Texas-style.

Ingredients:
4–5 Organic Lemons (about ¾ cup fresh juice)

4 cups cold filtered water

¼ cup Keepers Harvest Raw Honey (or to taste)

1 small Jalapeño, thinly sliced

A handful of fresh mint leaves

Optional: pinch of sea salt or splash of sparkling water for a little lift

Ice, for serving

Instructions:
Juice the Lemons:
Squeeze lemons and strain out seeds. You should have about ¾ cup of juice.

Mix the Agua Fresca:
In a large pitcher, combine lemon juice, cold water, and honey. Stir until honey dissolves completely.

Add the Texas Twist:
Stir in jalapeño slices and mint leaves. Let sit for 5–10 minutes to infuse (the longer it sits, the spicier it gets!).

Serve:
Pour over ice and garnish with extra mint, lemon slices, or a jalapeño wheel if you're feeling bold. Add sparkling water for a fizzy finish if desired.

Pro Tips:
Swap honey for SAVIR Foods Elotes Loco Hot Sauce for a tangy-spicy rim on the glass.

Muddle the mint for extra herbal flavor.

Make it a cocktail with a splash of tequila or mezcal for grown-up gatherings.
