Well summer is finally here and if you’re like me, some days you need something on the healthy side to sip other than water. Friends, I give you watermelon agua fresca.. essentially watermelon “water”. All you need is a watermelon, some limes, water and some ice if you want it extra cold! If you don't have ice, no worries, just make sure your watermelon has been chilled in the fridge. You can also entertain with this delicious beverage and add some liquor of your choice… rum, vodka, tequila, they are all equally delicious!


Makes about 6 servings
​
Ingredients:

• 1 small watermelon, cubed
• Juice of 4 limes
• 1 cup (250 mL) ice cubes
