Directions

1.  Place half of the watermelon chunks in a blender with a cup of water and purée until smooth. Repeat with remaining watermelon, adding enough water to bring the entire batch to the desired consistency — traditionally it should be very thin and ‘watery’ in consistency.

2.  Strain watermelon directly into serving pitcher using a fine mesh strainer to remove pulp and seeds. Add lemon juice and sweetener to taste.

3.  Add chia seeds, stir to combine and refrigerate for several hours, allowing the chia seeds to absorb some liquid.

4.  Give a little stir before serving and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
