STRAWBERRY LOQUAT AQUA FRESCA

If you are lucky enough to have a loquat tree or know someone who shares, you probably have more loquats than you know what to do with right now!  My coworker has been bringing bags to work, so I’m starting to think of ways to enjoy them aside from just peeling & eating them.  Today, I made what I’m calling strawberry-loquat aqua fresca.  It’s super easy, refreshing, & loaded with vitamin C, flavenoids, vitamin A, dietary fiber, potassium, and manganese (source: Wikipedia).  Next up: Loquat Jam.
