AGUA DE SANDIA (WATERMELON BEVERAGE)
My DH is from Mexico and this is a staple there on hot days. The first time I tried it I was hooked (didn't even get sick from the water...lol). This is a great change for those hot days, just drink and enjoy.

Steps:
- Puree the diced watermelon with 4 cups cold water in blender. Blend until smooth, and then pour into a pitcher - any ground seeds should remain in the bottom. Add 6 cups cold water and sweeten with sugar, as needed. Garnish with lime wedges.
Tips:
- Select the best watermelon: Choose a watermelon that is heavy for its size, has a smooth rind, and a yellow spot on the bottom where it rested on the ground.
- Chill the watermelon: For the best flavor, chill the watermelon for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Use a blender or juicer: You can use either a blender or a juicer to make agua de sandia. If you use a blender, you will need to strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds or pulp.
- Add other fruits and flavors: Feel free to add other fruits and flavors to your agua de sandia, such as lime juice, mint, or cucumber.
- Serve immediately: Agua de sandia is best served immediately after it is made.
Conclusion:
Agua de sandia is a refreshing and delicious beverage that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you have a watermelon on hand, be sure to give agua de sandia a try!
