You’re ten minutes and three ingredients away from a refreshing and flavorful summertime sipper. The real thing, made from real fruit and citrus, is so much better than anything that comes out of a plastic bottle. Depending on the sweetness of your watermelon, you may need more or less sugar. Taste and adjust according to your preference.
Watermelon Lemonade
You're ten minutes and three ingredients away from a refreshing and flavorful summertime sipper. The real thing, made from real fruit and citrus, is so much better than anything that comes out of a plastic bottle. Depending on the sweetness of your watermelon, you may need more or less sugar. Taste and adjust according to your preference.
Ingredients
- 1 pound cubed watermelon, which is about 4 cups
- ½ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 1 ¾ cups water divided use
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat ¼ cup water with the sugar, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool.
- Puree the watermelon in a blender. Strain using a wire mesh strainer. You should end up with 1 ½ cups watermelon juice (discard the pulp in the strainer or eat it up!)
- Combine the watermelon juice, lemon juice, cooled sugar syrup, and remaining 1 ½ cups water. Stir to combine. Pour over ice to serve.
