For a more intense strawberry flavor, use ripe, in-season strawberries. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference, depending on the sweetness of the strawberries. If you don't have fresh mint, a few drops of mint extract can be used as a substitute. For a festive touch, garnish with edible flowers or a strawberry slice on the rim of the glass. Agua Fresca can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir before serving.
