Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Watermelon
- 2 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey or sugar (optional)
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 5 pieces Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the watermelon into small chunks, discarding the rind and seeds if not using seedless watermelon.
Measure out 4 cups of watermelon chunks and add them to a blender.
Pour in 2 cups of water and blend on high speed until smooth, about 30-45 seconds.
Strain the blended watermelon through a fine mesh sieve over a large bowl or pitcher to remove any pulp (optional, based on desired texture).
Stir in the lime juice and, if desired, add 1 tablespoon of honey or sugar for extra sweetness. Mix well.
Chill the watermelon water in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or serve immediately over 1 cup of ice cubes.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a burst of flavor and presentation. Serve cold and enjoy!
