Para preparar esta bebida usamos manzanas criollas, que son muy ácidas y se deshacen mientras se cocinan, pero usted puede usar cualquier tipo de manzana disponible. Siempre trate de ponerle un par de manzanas ácidas para darle más sabor. Canela, siempre. En vez de manzanas puede probar la misma receta con maracuyá (esta no lleva canela), peras o carambolas, para tener un repertorio súper rico.
- 1 kg. de manzanas criollas o Granny Smith
- 2 palitos de canela
- 6 pimientas de chapa (allspice)
- 4 clavos de olor
- ½ - ¾ taza de azúcar (o al gusto)
- 8 tazas de agua
- Pica las manzanas en cuñas y pon en una olla con la canela, pimienta de chapa, clavos de olor y agua.
- Lleva a ebullición, baja el fuego a medio y cocina, parcialmente tapado, hasta que las manzanas estén muy suaves, unos 30-40 minutos. Apaga el fuego y deja enfriar.
- Retira las especias y licúa por partes, luego cuelas todo, presionando los sólidos, vierte en una bonita jarra y añade azúcar al gusto.
- Refrigera y sirve frío.

La agua de manzana es vida, everytime that I visit your blog I feel closer to my country Bolivia, we also enjoy drinking agua de manzana, it’s great for kids! thanks for reminding me of this, I am going to make some for my children. It’s going to be their first time drinking aguita de manzana!
Eliana, agua de manzana is wonderful for kids. I used to send big thermos with this delicious beverage in my children lunch boxes. They loved it.
Ooohh! This is one Agua Fresca that I haven’t tried yet. It sounds delicious! Can’t wait to try this once the weather gets warmer. 🙂
Se ve buenísimo!! Y nunca lo he probado! Como tú dices, en Colombia también acostumbramos a preparar los jugos en lugar de comprarlos hechos.
Sounds so yummy! We tried apples in a juicer we had once and it just wasn’t so good but the addition of spices probably makes this version super yummy!
Yum! I’ve never tried this. Looks very refreshing.
Amazing that people make this and other juices from scratch! It is such a great custom and so much healthier. Thanks for the yummy recipe!
Oh goodness! Looks so good. Thanks for the recipe. I need an alternative to drinking soda and this looks like a perfect substitute.
This looks great and easy to make!
This sounds deliciously refreshing! A must in my cooking list of recipes. I also grew up drinking fresh fruit drinks and during the summer when fruit is most abundant around here is when I also make fresh fruit drinks for my familia. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Ay, mama. That is going on the list of to make!
I love learning something new, and delicious and nutritious? It doesn’t get much better than this. Definitely on my To-Do list thanks to the lady leading the Peruvian-cuisine-next-hot-food movement!
I am going to make this!
Let us know how you like it, Presley’s Pantry!
A Peruvian friend is staying with me right now and he cooks daily. This is a juice that we keep refridgerated always! A greart morning juice or refreshing in the afternoon. Oh to live in a paradise like Peru with the freshness of fruits and vegetables daily. You must try this one! Bravo!
Yes, when in Peru, we make this water all the time and keep it in huge jugs in the fridge. We also make passionfruit water, chicha morada, and emoliente!
I’d love to make this, but can’t seem to find allspice in Peru (I’m in Cusco now) – what is it called here, please?
Hi! You can ask for pimienta de chapa in the markets.
Hi there! I tried this last night with some apples that were soon the head to the composter. It was so easy. One question from someone who has never had it before – is it supposed to be thicker than juice? Or was I too energetic with my spatula and sieve? Thanm you for the recipe!
Cual es el efecto de la pimienta de chapa en al agua de manzana.?
Porque se le pone pimienta y clavo?
