120 Milliliters Simple syrup

Pour the blended watermelon through a mesh strainer into a large jug to remove any pulp, leaving you with smooth watermelon juice.
Lightly crush the fresh mint leaves using a muddler or the back of a spoon, then add them to the watermelon juice in the jug. Stir gently to release the mint's flavor.
