Recipe Instructions:
1 cup diced watermelon (fresh or frozen - see note 1)
1 oz lime juice
10 mint leaves
½ cup soda water or kombucha (see note 2)
Splash of apple cider vinegar (optional - see note 3)
INSTRUCTIONS
Option 1 - Shaker
Muddle watermelon and lime in a shaker or mason jar until all the juice is released from the watermelon. You may find you need to stir a little if the watermelon compacts at the bottom of the shaker.
If you don't have a shaker, a mason jar or anything with a tight lid will work perfectly.
Clap the mint leaves together in your hands to release the scent and add it to the watermelon mixture.
Add a few ice cubes, replace the lid and shake well.
Strain watermelon mixture into an ice filled glass.
Top with soda water or kombucha. Add a splash of apple cider vinegar (optional). Stir gently.
Garnish with a lime wheel and extra mint.
Option 2 - Blender
Blend watermelon, lime and mint at high speed.
Strain into an ice filled glass.
Top with soda water or kombucha. Add a splash of apple cider vinegar (optional). Stir gently.
Garnish with a lime wheel and extra mint.
NOTES
Note 1: It's fine to use frozen watermelon in this recipe, just make sure it's thawed prior to using it.
Note 2: soda water tastes delicious in this recipe, but if you want to fancy it up a little and increase the health benefits even further, you can use your favorite kombucha.
Note 3: apple cider vinegar is a by-product of alcohol, so gives a lovely little kick that is often missing in alcohol free drinks. Remember, it is strong, so just add a little at a time until you reach your desired taste.
