Nothing says summer better than a piece of cold watermelon and a glass of cold lemonade. In this post, I am combining my love for watermelon and lemonade to make this delicious Watermelon Lemonade.
Ingredients
- FOR THE SIMPLE SYRUP:
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Water
- FOR THE WATERMELON LEMONADE:
- 4 cups Cold Water
- 1 cup Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
- 6 cups Watermelon, Seedless
- 8 leaves Mint
Preparation
For the simple syrup, heat sugar and water in a small saucepan on low until sugar is dissolved completely. The sugar will go from cloudy to clear once it is dissolved.
For the watermelon lemonade, add cold water to a pitcher. Pour the simple syrup into the pitcher. Add freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Puree the watermelon in a food processor or blender. Strain the watermelon puree with a fine mesh. You should be left with 4 cups of watermelon juice.
Add the watermelon juice to the pitcher. Break up mint leaves and add to the pitcher. Stir well and enjoy or refrigerate.
