Ingredients

  • 4 cups cubed ripe watermelon seedless if possible
  • 2 cups cold water
  • 2 –3 tablespoons sugar adjust to taste
  • Optional: juice of ½ lime

Instructions

  • Blend – Add watermelon, water, sugar, and lime juice (if using) to a blender. Blend until smooth.
  • Taste & adjust – Check sweetness and add more sugar if needed.
  • Strain (optional) – For a smoother texture, pour through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher.
  • Serve – Chill in the fridge or serve immediately over ice.

Notes

For extra freshness, garnish with mint leaves or lime slices.
Use a very ripe watermelon for maximum natural sweetness; you may be able to skip the sugar.
Best served the same day, but can be refrigerated up to 3 days. Stir before serving.
