Summer has many joys one of my top favorites is watermelon. It is so versatile, whether in a salad, grilled, or as a sorbet. But as a drink, it’s a a real “game-changer”.
I remember from my childhood that we bought these huge 10-kilo melons and then cut them into small pieces, and with my brothers and sisters, we always liked to eat them as a snack (and fight over the bigger pieces).
Why not just make a drink out of it? I blended the watermelon, added lemon juice and fresh mint from the garden and it is so refreshing and hydrates the body on hot summer days.
And this colour!!!! Look at that! A real eye-catcher on any garden table.
Try it out and let me know if you like it or made it better?
