Watermelon Agua Fresca
- Blend the watermelon, water, lime juice and 2 tablespoons sugar until completely smooth, in two batches if your blender is small.
- Pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher, pressing with a spoon, and throw away the pulp.
- Taste and stir in more sugar or lime if it needs it; sweetness depends on the melon.
- Pour over ice and garnish with mint.
