- Pour water and sugar in to the blender. Blend until smooth.
- Add the lime juice and watermelon. Pulse until smooth.
- Pour the mixture in to a 9x12 metal baking dish. Place in the freezer on a flat surface. Freeze for 20 minutes. Pull it out and use a fork to stir the mixture. Place back in the freezer and repeat again, but stir after 15 minutes. Repeat the process until the mixture has completely crystalized.
