Arrayan Agua Fresca

Directions

1. 1
   Add water, sugar and arrayan to a pot on medium heat. Stir so that sugar dissolves.
2. 2
   Cover and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to low and let simmer until fruit cracks open and the water turns yellow, about 25 minutes.
3. 3
   Transfer to a stainless steel bowl and use a stand or hand mixer on medium to separate the fruit from seed. (A food processor will not work because of all the seeds.).
4. 4
   Place a sieve in a large bowl and pour mixture through, using a spatula to get all the juice out.
5. 5
   Discard seeds.
6. 6
   Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Pour into a pitcher with ice and serve with lime or mint as desired.
