Moroccan Watermelon and Strawberry Drink

Serves 1

Ingredients:

1 cup watermelon cubes
3 sliced strawberries
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Sugar to taste
A sprinkle of orange blossom water
Ice cubes
Mint leaf for garnish

Directions:

Place watermelon, berries, water, lemon juice, and sugar in a blender and liquefy. Strain through a medium mesh sieve, pressing the pulp with the back of a large spoon to extract all the juice.     Transfer to a tall glass and add a sprinkling of orange blossom water. Add ice cubes. Garnish with a mint leaf.

Note: Orange blossom water is available in Middle Eastern markets, and sometimes, liquor stores.
