5 cup fresh watermelon, skin removed, cut into squares

METHOD
Place the watermelon into the base of a high-speed upright blender. Add in the juice from 1 lemon and the honey.
Blitz until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
Run the mixture through a fine sieve or clean cloth to remove any potential seeds.
Slice the remaining lemon into rounds then place into serving glasses or a pitcher along with the ice. Pour over the watermelon mixture then garnish with mint sprigs before serving.
*You can use all sorts of fruit or veg for an Agua Fresca-Pineapple, melons, cucumber etc.. Just use the same measurements and adjust sweetness depending on the type of fruit you are using. Some fruits will also need more water to blend than others.
