TIPS FOR SUCCESS
-
You can use sugar substitutes for this recipe. You may not need a half cup, depending on the substitute you’re choosing. So, don’t swap them out equally, you’ll want to test out your substitute and find the right amount to suit your preferences.
-
Some foam, after blending, is great, but some of the foam just looks weird, so I remove the odd looking foam for a prettier presentation. It’s not much, but it’s worth the extra minute of work, in my opinion.
-
If you want a stronger flavor, add some more watermelon to your water, without changing the other ingredient amounts. Just know, it will get a little thicker when adding extra fruit.
-
This recipe tastes great right after it’s made, but starts to get a little weird if left to sit in the fridge. So, I don’t suggest making this ahead, for the best results.
-
Make sure the ingredients you use are nice and cold so the resulting beverage comes out chilled, if that’s what you desire.
