Step 1

To start, slice the watermelon in wedges and remove the rind. Seed each piece if you'd like, then cut it into small chunks and transfer to a blender.

Step 2

Add 1 cup of water and mix on high until smooth, then transfer to a large mason jar or pitcher. Repeat the same process with the other half of the watermelon.

Step 3

Add the rest of the water into your pitcher along with ¼ cup sweetener and stir. Taste and add more sweetener or water to your liking.

Step 4

Transfer the jar to your fridge to chill for a few hours, or serve your agua de sandia immediately over ice with mint sprigs, fresh basil, lime, or lemon wedges. Enjoy!
