Another question – your ingredients says 6 cups of water and ice but directions say 5 cups of each. Which is correct?
Oops I apologize for that typo! 6 cups of each.
To measure the 4 cups of watermelon, is that 4 cups of puréed watermelon or 4 cups of watermelon chunks?
4 cups of watermelon chunks!
