Watermelon water

My son and I both love watermelon, but size is an issue. If we buy the tiny ones we go through them in no time. If we buy the medium-sized melons, we invariably end up throwing some of it out. That's why I love this idea for watermelon water. What a delicious and healthy way to use up some of the excess watermelon!

All you need to do is puree two cups of watermelon cubes (seedless, of course) with two cups of water. Pour the puree into a pitcher and stir in another cup of water. The recipe says you can add sugar if it isn't sweet enough, but I can't imagine why you would want to. I think the mildly flavored water would be pleasant, and why would you add sugar to an otherwise healthy refreshment?

You could also freeze melon balls to use as ice cubes for added flavor and fun. Enjoy!
