Watermelon Agua Fresca
5 cups cold water
1 cup mint simple syrup (see recipe below)
1 ½ cups cubed watermelon (use seedless, or remove seeds)
Juice of 1 lime
1 lime sliced
Mix everything together in a large container.
Chill in refrigerator until ready to use.
If storing overnight, only leave sliced limes in for 2 hours.
Lime becomes too potent if left in for extended periods of time.

Combine all ingredients in small sauce pan
Bring to boil
Stir until sugar has dissolved (about 1 minute)
Remove from heat
