Ingredients
- 4 cups (cubed) Seedless watermelon
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Cut the seedless watermelon into small cubes, removing any stray seeds, if present.
Step 2
Add the watermelon cubes, maple syrup, lime juice, fresh mint leaves, and water into a blender.
Step 3
Blend the ingredients until smooth, ensuring there are no large pieces remaining. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or jug to remove any pulp or solids. Press gently with a spatula to extract all the liquid.
Step 5
Pour the strained watermelon mixture into an ice cube tray or a shallow freezer-safe dish.
Step 6
Place the tray or dish into the freezer and allow it to freeze for 3-4 hours or until fully set.
Step 7
If using an ice cube tray, remove the frozen cubes and serve immediately in a chilled glass or bowl. If using a shallow dish, scrape the frozen mixture with a fork to create a fluffy, granita-like texture before serving.
Step 8
Garnish with additional mint leaves or a small wedge of watermelon, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
