WATERMELON LEMONADE

Homemade lemonade is so easy to make and taste sooooooo much better than anything you will find in the store. Although  I do confess to loving that Simply Lemonade!

This watermelon lemonade is as simple and pure as it gets! Water, lemons, watermelon, sugar and mint!
Yep that’s it!

I just love the way fresh mint and watermelon get along .Every sip leaves your mouth cool and refreshed .It’s like a little bit of summer in a glass.

INGREDIENTS:

• 6 cups cubed seedless watermelon , chilled (2 lbs after peeling)*
• 4 cups cold water
• 3/4 cup fresh strained lemon juice , chilled
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar (more or less to taste)
• Ice and fresh mint for serving

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Add watermelon to a blender and pulse until well pureed (there should be about 4 cups).
2. Pour through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl.
3. In a large pitcher whisk together water, lemon juice and sugar until sugar has dissolved. Stir in pureed watermelon.
4. Stir in ice and mint (alternately add ice and mint directly to individual cups and pour lemonade over). Store in refrigerator.
   *If you don’t have time to chill the ingredients then just use more ice in place of some of the water
