Today was SO hot, and all I wanted was something cold and refreshing. I had watermelon in the freezer and fresh mint, so I decided to make my own watermelon mint slushie—and it turned out so good.
Frozen watermelon + homemade mint syrup = the easiest summer drink.
For the mint syrup: boil 1 cup water + 1 cup sugar, turn off the heat, add fresh peppermint leaves, let it cool, strain, and keep it in the fridge.
Then just blend your frozen watermelon with a little mint syrup until it’s perfectly slushy.
Simple, refreshing, and exactly what I needed on a hot day like today.
