1
Combine water and sugar in a small sauce pan. Heat over medium heat, swirling occasionally until sugar has dissolved and the mixture starts to simmer. Remove from heat, add the five-spice powder, and stir to combine. Cover and allow to come to room temperature.
2
Strain syrup through a coffee filter-lined strainer. This will take awhile. Store in the refrigerator in a jar or other air-tight container. It will keep for about 1 month.
3
Combine all ingredients in blender. Pulse until the watermelon is mostly broken up, then blend continuously on high for 30 to 60 seconds. The mixture should be smooth and a slightly paler pink than when you started.
4
Divide between 2 chilled 10-ounce glasses. Serve immediately.
