Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups Watermelon
  • 1 Cucumber
  • 3 T. Lime juice approx. 2 limes
  • 20 leaves Mint, 1 handful
  • ¼ cup Monk Fruit sweetener, optional

Instructions
 

  • Cut watermelon and remove from rind.
  • Peel cucumber and cut in half.
  • Wash mint, remove from stems.
  • Cut lime in half.
  • In the blender, add the watermelon, cucumber, and mint. For a smaller blender, you can do 2 batches.
  • Put a mesh strainer over the opening of your jar and slowly pour in the juice. Use the back of a wooden spoon to push the juice through the strainer.
    *see note below on this step
  • Squeeze lime juice into the pitcher and stir.
  • Give it a taste and see if you want to add your sweetener of choice.
  • Add water to fill up the pitcher or jar.
    *see note below on this step
  • Chill 30 minutes and enjoy.

Notes

 
*Note on Step 6: You can totally skip this step if you want a thicker juice with pulp. If you do, I suggest blending it again with ice and drinking it like a smoothie. 
*Note on Step 9: I did it in a gallon sized mason jar and it ended up being a little less than 1/2 gallon of water. The 1:1 ratio of juice to water does not change if the size of the container changes. To save on fridge space in the past, I have also made it where I added the water as I poured it into the glasses.
