Notes
- Look for a watermelon that is sphere-shaped, has an orange spot (not white), has a dried out stem, is heavy, and doesn't have much give to it.
- To store mint before making this, get a paper towel damp, ringing out the excess water. Wrap it loosely around the mint and put it in the refrigerator. Mint can be stored for one week this way.
