We had watermelon with our meal last night. It was what you would call a "so-so" melon. It was really juicy but lacked color and flavor. So I wanted to use it up and quick! After sun-bathing I was desperate for a refreshing drink! Ooo, what about watermelon lemonade? So here's my 1st attempt at a recipe! It is definitely a "toned down" version of lemonade (aka won't make your lips pucker). It's light, mild, and refreshing!Ingredients
4 cups (after blending) watermelon
1 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (~3 lemons)
** If you want it stronger, double the water, lemon, and sugar amounts!
Directions
Cut watermelon up into chunks. Blend in a blender until you have 4 cups. Strain using a fine strainer. Add lemon juice, sugar, water, and stir. Chill in the fridge until cool. Add ice and enjoy!
