Watermelon Mint Lime Water

When hot weather comes around, I usually crave watermelon. It’s so refreshing and it’s good for you too. And I discovered that watermelon is also great for making flavored water! Combining chunks of juicy watermelon with fresh mint and tart limes makes a great-tasting summery drink! You just have to plan ahead a little, since you need to chill the mixture for 1 to 2 hours before drinking.

I buy watermelon regularly throughout the summer and I grow my own mint in a large pot, so I had everything I needed to make this except for the limes. You can make it without limes, but I like the refreshing zing they add to the mix!

WATERMELON MINT LIME WATER by NancyC
Makes 1 large pitcher

3 cups cubed watermelon chunks (cut in 1/2″ size cubes)
4 sprigs of mint (a sprig is a stem with 6 to 8 leaves), lightly crushed or rubbed (to release flavor and scent)
2 limes, thinly sliced (use organic limes or wash limes very well!)
7 to 8 cups of water
2 to 3 cups of ice

Add cubed watermelon, mint sprigs, and sliced limes to pitcher, then add water and ice. Chill for 1 to 2 hours to infuse flavors, then serve, pouring into ice-filled glasses. Tastes best the day it’s made.

This flavored water definitely does taste best the day it’s made, but you can finish drinking it up by the second day if you have any left over. It really is refreshing and more fun to drink than plain water! What do you like to add to your water to flavor it?
