Notes
Serve cold, ideally in a large glass pitcher for gatherings. Pair with light snacks like cucumber sandwiches or fresh fruit platters. To enhance flavor, freeze watermelon chunks as ice cubes and muddle mint leaves in the glass for added freshness. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge and consume within 3-5 days.
