Ingredients
6 cups frozen watermelon cubes
1 cup fresh mint leaves
1 cup water
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
½ cup milk
Directions
Prepare fresh watermelon by cutting into cubes and arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze for 1 to 2 hours until solid.
Bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Pour the boiling water over the fresh mint leaves in a heatproof bowl or pitcher and let steep for 10 minutes to extract the mint flavor.
Strain the mint leaves from the liquid, discarding the solids. Place the mint-infused water in the refrigerator and chill for 1 to 2 hours until completely cool.
Add the frozen watermelon cubes, chilled mint-infused water, ground cinnamon, and milk to a blender.
Blend on high speed for about 15 seconds, until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy with a uniform consistency. Do not over-blend.
Pour the cooler into serving glasses and serve immediately while still cold and thick.
