Make a watermelon shake.

Cut the watermelon into small triangles, remove the seeds and throw the fruit into a blender. Add a couple of ice cubes and some water, some sugar syrup (basically sugar melted in warm water) to taste, cover and switch it on.

Pour the contents into a glass, put a straw in it and chug it down like a beast.

Enjoy.
