Anti Inflammatory Mint & Lime Watermelon Agua Fresca

Few drinks feel as instantly refreshing as a tall glass of watermelon agua fresca, and this version takes things up a notch with bright lime juice and fresh mint blended right in. Watermelon is loaded with lycopene and natural hydration, while mint and lime bring their own antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to the glass — making this as functional as it is delicious. The technique here is smart: blending the mint with cold water first ensures every sip carries that cool, herbal flavor without any gritty bits. Straining the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve gives you a beautifully clear, jewel-toned drink that looks like something from a fancy restaurant. A touch of honey keeps the sweetener optional and natural, so you can dial the sweetness up or down depending on how ripe your watermelon is. This is the kind of drink you'll want to keep a pitcher of in the fridge all week — it's just as good on day two.
