- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Large Pitcher
Ingredients
- 2 pounds seedless watermelon chunks weight after cutting, about 8 cups
- 2 cup water divided, see notes
- 6 tablespoon lime juice 2-3 limes
- ⅓-1/2 cup honey depending on sweetness
Instructions
- Working in 2 batches, to a blender add watermelon, ½ cup water, lime juice and honey, and blend on high until smooth and well mixed.
- Pour through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher or another contain if you want to strain it twice.
- Repeat with the second half of the ingredients.
- Once it is all in your pitcher, add 1 additional cup water and stir.
Notes
- Glass: Serve in tall glasses filled with ice to keep the drink cold and refreshing.
- Garnishes: Lime wedges, lime slices or fresh mint sprigs add a simple, fresh finish.
- Straining: I like to double strain mine for a smoother finish—it only takes an extra minute, but you can really tell the difference.
- Taste Balance: Adjust the lime juice or honey depending on how sweet your watermelon is.
- Make it Bubbly: Make it extra fresh and top it off with some sparkling water.
- Blend Well: Ensure you blend long enough to break it all down, then strain out any or as much pulp as you want.
