Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 10 min

Step 1:
I was preparing this recipe for the first time, so I devoured only a quarter of a small watermelon for it.
Step 2:
First squeeze out the juice from half a lime (or lemon, but lime tastes nicer) and mix it with granulated sugar. If you're not too lazy to mess around, you can even warm it up to make a syrup, and then cool it down - but I already WANTED SOMETHING COLD!... In short, without syruping, too, everything is OK.
Step 3:
Cut the pulp from the watermelon and remove the bones, if there are any. We do not go close to the crust, we take only sweet.
Step 4:
Watermelon pulp should be ground with a blender or combine.
Step 5:
Then mix it with sugar-citrus "sweetener " and stir it properly with a spoon. If you have the opportunity to sufficiently enlarge the photo, then there are dimensional divisions on the pan - it turns out about 600 ml.
Step 6:
Serve with a small amount of ice and a sprig of mint in each glass.

Fresh drinks are, as you know, cold drinks with ice. It would seem, well, how can you make fresh watermelon?! It's already watery, and the taste of this giant berry is not too saturated. Put ice in watermelon juice - and you risk getting a little sweet water.
Therefore, if you really want to taste watermelon fresh, you have to be cunning: firstly, introduce sugar there (so that it doesn't turn out to be really not sweet), secondly - lime juice (to refresh and intensify the taste) and thirdly - a sprig of mint, so that too much ice is not required, and the freshness was.
