• 1 cup sugar (or another sweetener of your choice)
• 8 cups water (divided)
• 1 key lime (the juice)

Preparación

1. 1

   Pour one cup of water in a pot over medium heat. Add the sugar and mix until well dissolved, set aside and let cool down.

2. 2

   Place the watermelon cubes and three cups of water in a blender and mix very well (depending on the size of your blender, you may need to do this two times).

3. 3

   Add the sugar water and lime juice. Mix well.

4. 4

   Pour the blended watermelon water into a two liter (~2 qt) pitcher, add the sugar water and the other 5 cups of water. Add the lime juice and mix well. Cool down in the fridge and serve super cold or on ice.

5. 5

   Divide the blended watermelon and sugar water into 2 two-liters (~2 qt each) pitchers, add the other 4 cups of water (2 per pitcher). If you have a big container (4 quarts) even better. Cool down in the fridge and serve super cold or on ice.
