It's #nationalwatermelonday 🍉 🤷🏻‍♂️ Sharing a easy recipe for 'Watermelon Ice flavored with Rose & Mint' from my book "My Indian Kitchen" available on amazonbooks barnesandnoble tuttlepublishing 
This summer favorite 🌞 is inspired by the flavored shaved ice #icegola served on the streets of India. 
WATERMELON ICE 
Prep time: 15 minutes plus 2 hours for freezing

Serves 4

6 tablespoons sugar
7 tablespoons water
3 to 4 large fresh mint sprigs
3 tablespoons rose water
4 cups (500 g) chunked, seedless watermelon (about 1/3 of a 3 to 4-lb (1.5 to 1.75-kg) baby seedless watermelon)
Mint leaves, for garnish
1. Place the sugar, water and fresh mint in a small saucepan. Heat gently over medium-low heat until the sugar is dissolves, stirring occasionally. Pour the sugar water through a fine-meshed strainer set over a bowl. Discard the mint and set the sugar water aside to cool.

2. Purée the watermelon in a food processor and mix it into the sugar syrup. Chill the mixture for 3 to 4 hours. Stir in the rose water.

3. Place the mixture in an ice cream maker and churn until it is firm enough to scoop.

Alternatively, you may pour the mixture into a flat container and place it in the freezer for 2 hours. Remove from the freezer and beat with a fork to break up the ice crystals. Return the mixture to the freezer and let freeze 2 hours more, beating the mixture at half-hour intervals. Freeze until firm.

4. Serve the frozen ice in a sundae cup garnished with mint leaves.
