Ingredients

2.6 lbwatermelon, flesh only, seeds picked out, cut into chunks
1 cupcold water
1lime, juiced
2 tbspgranulated sugar, or leave it out if the melon is very ripe
1/4 ozfresh mint, leaves only, to serve

Method

1
Put the watermelon chunks in a blender with the cold water and the lime juice and blend until completely liquid, about thirty seconds. There is no need to be gentle with it.
2
Taste it first. A ripe summer melon often needs nothing at all. If it is flat, stir in the sugar a little at a time until it tastes like the melon smells.
3
Pour into a pitcher and refrigerate until very cold, or serve straight over plenty of ice with the mint leaves clapped between your palms and dropped in.
