Edit Note

Outstanding

A reader describes this as "watermelon-scented water." The flavor doesn't overpower, but refreshes, especially on hot days.

Yield: 13 cups

Ingredients

  • 6  cups  seeded, cubed watermelon
  • 8  cups  water
  • 1/2  cup  sugar
  • 1/2  cup  fresh lime juice
  • Garnish: watermelon wedges

Preparation

Process watermelon in a blender until smooth. Pour mixture into a large bowl; stir in 8 cups water, sugar, and lime juice. Cover and chill at least 8 hours. Stir; serve in tall glasses. Garnish, if desired.
