Method
 

Step 1 — Freeze Your Watermelon

Cut watermelon into 1-inch chunks and spread

flat on a baking sheet. Freeze for at least

4 hours or overnight until rock solid.

Step 2 — Add to Blender

Add frozen watermelon, lime juice, honey,

cold water, and salt into blender.

Step 3 — Blend Until Smooth

Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until color

turns deep vivid red and texture is thick.

Step 4 — Taste and Adjust

Taste and add more honey if needed.

Add splash of coconut water if too thick.

Step 5 — Serve Immediately

Pour into chilled glass. Top with mint

leaves and lime wedge. Serve right away.

    - Always freeze watermelon flat in single
    layer to avoid clumping.
    - Use fresh lime juice only — not bottled.
    - Add pinch of salt — it intensifies
    natural sweetness.
    - Start blender on pulse before high speed.
    - Store in sealed mason jar up to 24 hours.
    - Place plastic wrap directly on surface
    before sealing to keep color vibrant.
