Hello Pati, from Austin, TX. I love Sundays Brunches and I decided to make the Agua Fresca of this episode 12, S3, but instead of sparkling water at the end, we added a proseco wine and VOLA que rico of a citrus Mimosa it became. Thank you for sharing.

What are your thoughts of using agave vs honey and would there be a change in amount?

Agave sounds like a great idea Sheila, I would use the same amount 🙂
