Watermelon Agua Fresca
Prep Time
25 minutes
Prep Notes
Refrigerate your watermelon pieces the night before and it will make the drink that much cooler and refreshing. Also, this recipe does not use that much sugar as most watermelons (especially seeded ones) tend to be really sweet. But you be the judge on the sugar/honey.
