  3. Blend until completely smooth. Add more water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
  4. Strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any remaining seeds or pulp (optional).
  5. Pour the Agua de Sandía into a large pitcher. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  6. Garnish with fresh watermelon slices, mint leaves, or lime wedges before serving (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
