Directions for making Wtermelon Cucumber Mint Slushie

Tips for Preparing Watermelon Cucumber Mint Slushies Recipe
When going to the grocery store to buy watermelon, my advice would be that you should buy it according to its weight. You may pick it up.
If you find that it produces a hollow sound when you tap it, that is what you should carry home.
Moreover, try as much as possible not to buy a watermelon that has many seeds. The seeds will only disturb you when preparing the drink and will only slow down the process.
As an expert tip, if you are that much thirsty that you cannot wait for the drink to freeze, after blending it, instead of pouring it into the ice trays, use ice cubes. This will have a similar effect.
