Ingredients
  

Mint Syrup
  • 4 cups filtered water
  • 1 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1 cup organic cane sugar
Juice
  • 3 cups fresh seedless watermelon cubed
  • 1 large organic cucumber peeled and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon freshly-squeezed lemon juice or lime juice for a twist

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • high-powered blender
  • fine-mesh strainer
  • large pitcher

Method
 

Mint Syrup Preparation
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine filtered water, fresh mint leaves, and organic cane sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Reduce heat and let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until sugar dissolves and mint is fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool before straining out mint.
Juice Blending
  1. Once the mint syrup has cooled, add it to a high-powered blender with freshly squeezed lemon juice, cubed watermelon, and chopped cucumber. Blend on medium-high for 2-3 minutes until smooth and foamy.
Juice Straining
  1. Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a large pitcher, pressing the pulp to maximize juice extraction. Adjust the pulp to preference.
Serving
  1. To serve, fill glasses with ice and pour the juice over it. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and watermelon chunks.
