Ingredients
- One 8-pound ripe seedless watermelon, or about 10 cups (or large handfuls), cubed (see above for picking a ripe watermelon)

- About 15 mint leaves
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine the watermelon, honey, and lime juice in a blender and pulse until completely smooth.
- Strain ¼ of the puréed watermelon into a small bowl. Add the mint leaves and use a pestle to muddle the mint with a few twist. Transfer the muddled mint mixture to a large pitcher.
