Watermelon Agua Fresca

In a microwave-safe bowl, warm ½ cup of the water. Add the honey and stir to dissolve.

Pour the sweetened water into a blender and add the remaining 1½ cups plain water and the watermelon. Blend until smooth.

Strain the watermelon juice through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher. Use the back of a spoon to press the watermelon through the sieve. Add the ice to the pitcher and stir.
