This recipe is inspired by the summer. It's a perfect combination of watermelon and lemons which is bursting with flavor just perfect for laying out in the sun or going out for a picnic with friends.
Ingredients
- 5-6 large lemons
- 6 cups scooped watermelon
- 1/2 cup sugar (or to taste)
- 1/4 cup water
- Ice
How to prepare
-Juice lemons to make 1 Cup of lemon juice (leave out one lemon to use as a garnish).
-Place scooped watermelon into a blender.
-Blend the watermelon on high for 1 minute until smooth (6 cups of scooped watermelon would make 3.5 cups of purée).
-Transfer purée into a medium sized mixing bowl and add unstrained lemon juice. Strain it all together (the finer the strainer the less the pulp in the final product).
-Heat up the water and sugar in a small saucepan (you may like more or less sugar depending on the sweetness of the watermelon and your personal preference. Simmer until sugar completely dissolves and leave to cool.
-Mix syrup with strained juice. Fill glass cup with ice and serve watermelon lemonade over ice.
-For bonus points slice remaining lemon and use as a garnish on the glass.
Enjoy your drink and your summer!!!!
