It was fairly good.

Should you’re planning a picnic or an al fresco banquet along with your homies, we’ve bought a brilliant yummy (and straightforward) recipe for a aromatic watermelon aqua fresca – with a twist! Normally, one of these aqua fresca is made with watermelon, water, and sugar however you understand we love mixing issues up ’spherical right here, so we thought we’d convey some Moroccan vibes to this historically Mexican beverage. We substituted common water for rosewater, minimize out the sugar all collectively, and threw in some recent mint leaves.

Okay, need to know tips on how to get this goodness into your stomach? Right here’s what you’ll want:

When you have a bunch of watermelon cubes left over after you fill the blender up, you possibly can mix the primary batch of cubes for a number of seconds to open up some more room after which throw within the the rest of the cubed watermelon.
