1 pound watermelon flesh and juice (rind removed) 2 cups water ¼ cup sugar

You can pick out the watermelon seeds if you wish to take the time, but it is not necessary, as they become blended into nothingness.

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend thoroughly until there is absolutely no pulp. Chill before serving.
