Watermelon Agua Fresca
Health Highlights
Watermelon is naturally full of electrolytes, giving you the essential vitamins and minerals you need to help you hydrate.

Ingredients


6 cup Watermelon (seedless; chopped)
1 tbsp Lemon juice (or lime)
1 tbsp Maple syrup, pure (or honey; optional)
1/4 tsp Sea Salt (optional)
2 cup Water (or more to taste)
2 lemon wedge Lemon (or lime)
4 leaf Mint, fresh (or rosemary; for garnish)

Instructions


  1. Add the chopped watermelon to a blender and blend until smooth. 
  2. Strain watermelon juice through a fine-mesh strainer into a large pitcher. Use your fingers to press the watermelon pulp through the strainer to get as much of the liquid out as possible. Discard the watermelon pulp (or save for smoothies, etc.).
  3. Add the lemon juice, maple syrup, and sea salt to the pitcher.
  4. Pour the water over top and stir to combine.
  5. Serve in a glass over ice, and garnish with a lemon wedge and a couple of mint leaves (optional).

Notes:

Quick Tips:

You can adjust the amount of added water, lemon juice, and sweetener to taste.

Consuming too much watermelon (or agua fresca) can irritate your digestive system. Avoid the temptation to binge-drink this beverage and stick to one glass at a time.
