Watermelon Agua Fresca
The ultimate summer refresher. Sweet watermelon blended with lime and mint. Zero sugar, 100% hydrating, and ready in 5 minutes.
Ingredients
- 6 cups seedless watermelon cubed.
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice - this makes the flavor pop.
- 4-6 mint leaves - optional but so good.
- ¼ tsp sea salt - trust me it makes it taste sweeter.
- 1-2 cups cold water - to get the perfect consistency.
- Ice + lime wedges for serving.
Instructions
- Step 1: Blend : Toss watermelon, lime juice, mint, and sea salt into a blender. Blend until it’s completely smooth and bright pink.
- Step 2: Strain: Pour through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher. This gives you that smooth agua fresca texture. Skip this if you like it pulpy.
- Step 3: Dilute: Stir in cold water a little at a time until it’s perfect for you. Some people like it thick, some like it light.
- Step 4: Chill + Serve: Pour over ice in a tall glass. Garnish with a lime wedge and mint. Take a photo first — you’ll want to
- Step 5: The Slushy Upgrade: Freeze your leftover watermelon cubes. Next time, blend them straight from the freezer for a frozen treat.
