05 - Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for optimal flavor, or serve immediately.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It tastes like a refreshing drink but you get to use a spoon, which somehow makes eating it feel less guilty.
  • The prep is genuinely 15 minutes, leaving you time to actually enjoy your summer instead of being stuck in the kitchen.
  • This works as a side dish or a light dessert, and it somehow makes whatever you're serving it with taste better.
02 -
  • Don't chop everything the night before; fruit releases water and gets soggy, so prep it the morning of or a few hours before serving.
  • If you add the mint too early, it'll bruise and turn dark, so wait until the last possible moment to scatter it over the top.
03 -
  • If your lemon is hard and feels dry, microwave it for 10 seconds before rolling it on the counter to get more juice out of it.
  • Keep the bowl covered in the fridge until serving time so the fruit doesn't dry out or absorb any funky flavors from whatever else is in there.
