Watermelon Agua Fresca

Prepare your sugar syrup by mixing equal parts of water and sugar. Taste your melon and determine how much sugar you will need to sweeten your solution. Let it cool

Blend your melon with the 100 ml of water. You can freeze it beforehand. Sieve since we do not need the pulp and seeds

Mine yielded about 11/4 cups

Add your sugar syrup, peppermint essence,and a few drops of lemon/lime juice.

Serve it immediately or chill it. You can serve in a tall glass with ice cubes.
