Watermelon Water

*Watermelon Water*

In honor of my new theme I thought I would make some watermelon water and post the recipe.

Ingredients:

2 pounds seedless watermelon chunks

2 cups water (you could also use sparkling water if you want some bubbles)

2 limes, juiced

2 tablespoons sugar -- or to taste
Salt

Directions:

Put half the watermelon in a blender with half the water. Add half the lime juice, half the sugar and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, strain using a strainer, pour into a large pitcher. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Taste for salt and sugar, adding more a pinch at a time to bring out the watermelon flavor. Chill at least 1 hour before serving.

Serves 6
