Watermelon Mint Agua Fresca
Ingredients:
1/4 cup (packed) fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup agave syrup... or go all in with real sugar!
5 cups peeled, seeded, coarsely chopped watermelon (you should be able to get this from about a 2 1/2-pound watermelon)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
Mint sprigs - for garnish
Preparation:
1. Combine mint leaves, sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a small pot. Bring to a boil and stir until sugar has dissolved. Transfer mixture to a heatproof container and chill, uncovered, until cool, about 30 minutes.
2. Strain mint syrup into a blender; discard mint leaves. Add watermelon and lime juice and blend until very smooth. Using a fine-mesh sieve, strain into a pitcher; discard solids. Add 2 cups water and stir well to combine. Serve with mint sprigs.
Optional: add your favorite spirit for an adult version! We suggest 2 oz of white rum or tequila.
