Watermelon Lemonade

Instructions

1

Prepare the watermelon

Cut the watermelon into cubes, removing any seeds. Ensure you have about 4 cups of cubed watermelon.

Pro tip: Use a seedless watermelon to save time.

2

Blend the watermelon

Place the watermelon cubes in a blender and blend until smooth. This should yield about 3 cups of watermelon juice.

Pro tip: Strain the juice if you prefer a smoother texture.

3

Combine the ingredients

In a large pitcher, combine the watermelon juice, freshly squeezed lemon juice, cold water, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Pro tip: Taste and adjust the sugar according to your preference.

4

Chill the lemonade

Place the pitcher in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill and allow the flavours to meld.

Pro tip: For a quicker option, serve immediately over ice.

5

Serve the lemonade

Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled watermelon lemonade over the ice. Garnish with mint leaves if desired.

Pro tip: Use chilled glasses for an extra refreshing experience.
