Watermelon Chia Refresher

1.In a blender, combine the cubed watermelon and chilled water. Blend until smooth and frothy, about 30 seconds.

2.Strain the watermelon juice through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl or pitcher to remove any pulp, if desired.

3.In a separate bowl, mix the plain yogurt (curd) with the sugar until well combined and smooth.

4.Add the watermelon juice to the yogurt mixture, stirring gently to combine without losing too much air.

5.Stir in the chia seeds, allowing them to soak for about 5 minutes until they expand and create a gel-like consistency.

6.Serve the refresher over ice cubes in tall glasses, garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired.
