Ingredients
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
- 2 teaspoons lime zest
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup hot water
- Few drops orange flower water (optional)
- 1 medium watermelon
Method
Whisk together sugar and ¼ cup of hot water until sugar dissolves. Stir in lime juice and zest and chopped mint leaves. Refrigerate until cold.
Cut cubes of watermelon into a bowl and pour the syrup over the top. Scatter with extra mint leaves and serve immediately.
This syrup is also very good poured over vanilla ice-cream.
