An agua fresca is a refreshing cool drink that is common in latin america. It is typically created by blending fruits and water. This instructable will show you how to make my favorite agua fresca which is one that combines oranges and black raspberries. Any fruit may be substituted for the ones I use.
The basic recipe is as follows:
4 cups water
2 cups fruit
1/4 cup sugar
Juice of one lime half

First you will need some supplies.
Ingredients:
About 2-3 oranges enough to yield 1 1/2 cups fruit
A package of black raspberries to make a 1/2 cup fruit
one lime
1/2 cup sugar
4 cups water
Misc. Appliances etc.:
A blender
A pitcher that is larger than a quart
A sieve or fine strainer to filter the pulp and seeds out
A pan to create a sugar and water mixture
Optional Supplies:
Ice pop molds, one can make popsicles from agua frescas as seen on the intro page. Be sure to add extra sugar because cold items tend to taste less sweet than if they are warm.

I think a lime, strawberry, chile combination could work well. I do not have time to test it out though. I would feel bad if someone got sick.
Your daughter beign a vegan gives me an idea. There is a type of ceviche that can be made with guineos which are a small starchy banana. It is like a mini plantain. If you find a recipe I should be able to translate it for you. I am out my food budget right now to attempt it. I am also unsure how well the small guineo translates to the larger plantain we get here.
I may just try and throw something together. I have been meaning to learn to make it. I remember the color of the liquid it came in and it was the same as my ceviche, I would bet they used ginger ale too.
