BHA & BHT Free Mint & Lime Watermelon Agua Fresca

Few drinks are as instantly refreshing as a well-made agua fresca, and this watermelon version with mint and lime is the kind of thing you'll want to make on repeat all summer long. The blender technique here is smart — mint leaves go in first with cold water so they break down completely, giving the final drink that vivid, herbaceous punch without any grassy bits floating around. Straining the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve produces a beautifully clear, bright pink liquid that looks as stunning as it tastes. A squeeze of fresh lime juice cuts through the natural sweetness of the watermelon, and a touch of optional honey lets you dial in exactly the right balance for your taste. Every single ingredient in this recipe is whole and unprocessed, which means no synthetic preservatives, stabilizers, or additives of any kind — just real fruit, fresh herbs, and water. It's the kind of drink that makes you wonder why you ever reached for a bottled version in the first place.
