Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Watermelon

    Cut the watermelon in half, scoop out the flesh, and chop it into smaller pieces.

  2. 2

    Juicing the Watermelon

    Place the chopped watermelon pieces into a blender and blend until smooth. If desired, strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother texture.

  3. 3

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large pitcher, combine the watermelon juice, lime juice, agave syrup, and cold water. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

  4. 4

    Add Mint

    Gently muddle the mint leaves in a separate bowl to release their oils, then add them to the pitcher and stir.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

    Refrigerate the agua fresca for at least 30 minutes to chill. Serve over ice and garnish with additional mint leaves if desired.
