Ingredients
- 5.5 lb watermelon rind removed; cut into chunks; approx. 2.5 kg
- ½ bunch fresh mint leaves only; approx. 15g
- 1 lemon juiced; approx. 2 tbsp juice / 28g
- 3 tbsp maple syrup optional; approx. 64g
- 1 cup water approx. 8 oz / 227g
To garnish (optional):

Instructions
- Trim the watermelon, remove the rind, and cut the flesh into large chunks. Place the chunks in a single layer on a lined baking sheet or tray and freeze for at least 24 hours, or until solid.
- Pick the mint leaves from the stems and discard the stems.
- Add the frozen watermelon, mint leaves, lemon juice, maple syrup (if using), and water to a high-powered blender.
- Blend, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture becomes a thick, slushie-like consistency. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to help it blend or if you prefer a thinner texture.
- Serve immediately in tall glasses. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh mint leaves if desired.
