Preparation Time: 5 mins

Total Time: 5 mins

Servings: 4 servings

Yield: 5 cups of lemonade

Ingredients:

• 2 lemons (thin-skinned, 3 to 3 1/2 ounces each)
• 4 cups seedless watermelon (rind removed and cubed)
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 2 cups cold water (divided)
• Ice (for serving)

Methods:

1. Start by preparing the lemons. Wash the lemons thoroughly to remove any dirt or wax. Trim the hard stem end of the lemons and cut them into quarters, removing the seeds. Cut the lemon quarters into large chunks.

Note: If the lemons have thicker skin or a nubby blossom end, trim them to reduce bitterness.

2. In the carafe of a blender, add the prepared lemons, watermelon, sugar, and 1 cup of water.

3. Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth, which usually takes around 30 seconds.

4. Strain the blended mixture over a pitcher using a fine-mesh sieve. Use a silicone spatula to press the pulp against the strainer and extract the remaining juice. You may choose to discard the pulp.

5. Pour the remaining 1 cup of water into the strained lemonade. Stir well to combine. Serve the refreshing watermelon lemonade over ice for an extra chill.

By following these simple steps, you can create a delicious and rejuvenating summer drink that will surely quench your thirst. Enjoy the perfect blend of watermelon and lemon flavors in every sip of our Watermelon Lemonade.
