Watermelon Water (Agua de Sandia)
Watermelon Water is light and refreshing Agua de Sandia, originating from Mexico. Watermelon, water, and a touch of sugar make it the perfect yummy drink for summer.
Equipment
- 1 Blender
Ingredients
- 8 cups watermelon cut into 2 inch cubes
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1-4 Tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon lime juice optional
Instructions
- Cut cold watermelon into 2 inch cubes. Mix in a high speed blender with ice cold water. You will likely need to fill the blender with part of the watermelon, blend, then add the rest.
- Add sugar to taste! Many times the watermelon is sweet enough it doesn't need any sugar at all. Add lime juice if desired and serve cold!

Notes
- Store any leftover watermelon water in the refrigerator. Stir with a spoon before enjoying.
- The lime juice is optional and will give it a slight tang and enhance the flavor of the watermelon. We love it with the lime juice and recommend putting it in.
- More water may be added, if desired. Be warned, this may dilute the flavor of the watermelon so more sugar may need to be added too.
- Add mint or basil or a lime wedge for a beautiful garnish.
