Melon Agua Fresca

This Mexican-style fruit drink is typically made with water and a blend of different whole fruits. Here, the water has been skipped for an all-fruit version that is a perfect thirst quencher for a hot summer day. In order to get the amount of watermelon needed for this recipe, you need to purchase about a 3-pound watermelon. I have not tried this recipe, but it looks so refreshing for summer!! I love watermelon!
