Recipe #1 (Just Watermelon)
- 2
Cut cold watermelon into cubes or balled with a melon baller or spooned with a large spoon. My favorite is the spooned style - probably because it's the easiest.

In a bowl, add the cold watermelon, some water, sprinkle with sugar and ice. It's soo simple but you will find this sooo refreshing and cooling than having watermelon by itself.
