    Cup of Yum
  1. Add cubed fruit, water, sugar and lime juice to a blender.
  2. Cover with lid and blend until well pureed.
  3. Pour mixture through a sieve into a pitcher or bowl with a spout (I found it less messy and quickest to work with a bowl and a large sieve vs a pitcher).
  4. Add ice to individual glasses. Pour strained mixture over ice and serve cold
