Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 8 cups diced seedless watermelon
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice

  • 1/2 cup lightly packed fresh mint leaves plus 8 sprigs for garnish

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a simmer. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute; let the sugar syrup cool.
  • In a blender, puree the watermelon until smooth. Strain the watermelon juice, pressing gently on the pulps to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the pulp.

  • garnish with the mint sprigs and serve cold.
