Watermelon Mint Agua Fresca

Nothing spells refreshment like a juicy piece of ripe watermelon—except maybe this cooling agua fresca that adds fresh mint and lime juice to the mix.

4 cups fresh watermelon, peeled, seeded and chopped into 2-inch chunks

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves

1 cup water

1 oz. fresh lime juice

1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
Tools: blender, chinois strainer (or cheesecloth-lined colander), pitcher, large spoon

Puree the watermelon, mint and water. Strain into a pitcher and add the lime juice and sugar. Stir and serve over ice.
