Watermelon-Mint Agua Fresca
['1/4 cup (packed) fresh mint leaves', '1/4 cup sugar or agave syrup', '5 cups peeled, seeded, coarsely chopped watermelon (from about a 2 1/2-pound watermelon)', '1/4 cup fresh lime juice', 'Mint sprigs (for serving)']
Combine mint leaves, sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a small pot. Bring to a boil and stir until sugar has dissolved. Transfer mixture to a heatproof container and chill, uncovered, until cool, about 30 minutes.
Strain mint syrup into a blender; discard mint leaves. Add watermelon and lime juice and blend until very smooth. Using a fine-mesh sieve, strain into a pitcher; discard solids. Add 2 cups water and stir well to combine. Serve with mint sprigs.
Aqua fresca can be stored in an airtight container and chilled for up to 1 day.
