Watermelon Summer Drink


I am taking a break from all the unpacking I need to do, so I'll keep it short, sweet and to the point.

I would like to thank Adona for her help and for sharing her recipes with us in our blog. I will post Carolyn's Blueberry Lemon Muffins recipe as well. Big time favorites :) I know. I still have had no time to type it up. Sorry.   Please email me or Shakeela your recipes (and pictures if you want) you would like to share with us and we'll post them on the blog.  You guys are like cooking ninjas!  :D  I miss you all! 


 The recipe I'm sharing today is a Summer favorite. Great for the 4th of July! I got the idea from the Barefoot Contessa. What I'm sharing is my interpretation of that idea. I changed it up a little to make it CHIP approved ;)


Watermelon Summer Drink. Very refreshing. Ideal for this summer's heat wave :)





 



Watermelon Summer Drink

4 cups watermelon
3-5  limes, (juice)
1/4 cup agave nectar
8-10 fresh mint leaves, rinsed
Cold water, as needed

In the blender, process the watermelon, lime juice and mint with a little water. Gradually add agave nectar and more water as needed to reach the desired thickness of your drink.   

Note: You may start preparing this recipe using only 3 limes' juice and add more to taste. You may also adjust the mint and agave nectar amounts to taste.  Serve cold.  Enjoy!

OK. Now back to my task....
