There’s something sacred about creating tiny, nourishing rituals—especially on sun-drenched days when our bodies crave cooling, cleansing sips. This agua fresca is more than a drink; it’s a moment. A reset. A deep exhale in a glass.
Sip it barefoot on the porch. Pour it after a midday walk. Share it with someone who needs a little reminder that sweetness and stillness can live in the same space.
