## Instructions
1. *Prepare the Watermelon*
Remove the rind and seeds from the watermelon, then cut it into small cubes. Place the cubes in a blender.

Add lemon juice and honey (or sugar) to the blender. Blend until smooth.
3. *Freeze into Ice*
Pour the watermelon puree into a shallow tray or ice cube tray. Freeze for 3-4 hours. Every hour, use a fork to scrape and fluff the mixture to create a granita-like texture.

Once fully frozen, use a fork to scrape the watermelon ice into flakes. Scoop into bowls or cups, garnish with mint leaves, and enjoy immediately!

## Tips
