Refreshing Watermelon Basil drink

Refreshing Watermelon Basil Beverage

Nutriment Health and Fitness
Summer time heat needs a refreshing and cooling drink. This watermelon basil beverage has a perfect sweetness, with a hint of lime.
Watermelon that are seedless means you are enjoying this drink in 5 minutes. But you could certainly use the seeded watermelon, and remove the seeds before blending.
I used lime, as I find it pairs well with basil. Lemon would also work.
