Watermelon drink

What is more refreshing than watermelon in the summer?  Here is a great little recipe from Local Flavors.  You can omit the orange flower water (I'm not sure what that is, anyway) and substitute blackberries or strawberries.

Watermelon Agua Fresca
3 lbs watermelon, with rind
1/2 c. simple syrup
2 large limes
pinch salt
1 Tbs orange flower water

Remove rind and seeds and chop watermelon into large chunks.  Puree in a blender and sweeten with simple syrup as needed.  Squeeze one lime, add salt, and orange flower water and stir.  Pour over ice and garnish with lime wedge.  Makes one quart.
