Equipment

  • blender
  • strainer or fine mesh sieve
  • glass pitcher

Ingredients
 

  • 6 cups chopped, ripe watermelon
  • 2 cups filtered water
  • a few fresh mint leaves or lime wedges, optional
  • sweetener such as agave, honey or sugar, optional
  • ice for serving

Instructions
 

  • Combine the watermelon, water, and a few mint leaves (if using) in a blender, and blend on high until well combined (you may need to do this in batches if your blender is not large enough).
    6 cups chopped, ripe watermelon, 2 cups filtered water, a few fresh mint leaves or lime wedges, optional
  • Taste for sweetness. Feel free to add up to 2 tablespoons of sweetener, and blend a few more seconds. This step is optional and usually not needed if your fruit is ripe.
    sweetener such as agave, honey or sugar, optional
  • If you want to strain the water, pour it over a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher (this helps to remove some of the pulp and makes your water smooth and clear). Again, this step is optional.
  • Add the water to a serving pitcher and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour, or serve it immediately over ice. Garnish with additional mint, or a wedge of lime, if desired.

Notes

Fresh watermelon water can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to store it in a lidded container (preferably glass). When ready to serve, give it a quick stir as some of the pulp (if left in) will separate.
