Watermelon Limeade

Ingredients

• 4 cups watermelon, cubed and seedless
• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 4-5 limes)
• 2 cups water (filtered or sparkling)
• 1/4 cup agave syrup or honey (adjust based on sweetness preference)
• Ice cubes
• Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Cut the watermelon into cubes, removing any seeds. Optionally, blend the watermelon and strain it for a smoother texture.
2. Roll the limes on a countertop to release more juice, then cut them in half and squeeze them until you have about 1/2 cup of juice.
3. In a blender, combine the watermelon cubes, lime juice, and water. Blend until smooth, about 30-45 seconds.
4. Taste the mixture and if more sweetness is needed, add agave syrup or honey and blend again.
5. Pour the Watermelon Limeade into a pitcher and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill.
6. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled Watermelon Limeade over the ice. Garnish with mint leaves if desired.
