I had watermelon that was sitting around not getting eaten, which is actually odd for my house. So, I needed to come up with a way to use it. I searched allrecipes.com and came across a recipe for Watermelon Lemonade. It’s still rather easy, like the Lemonade recipe I had posted previously, just adds in a couple of steps for the watermelon. It ends up being a nice, cool treat on a hot day like today is!
Watermelon Lemonade
Based on recipe here
What you need:
4 cups cubed watermelon
1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (about 4 – 6 lemons)
1/4 – 1/2 cup sugar
Water
How to make it:
Put the watermelon in a blender. Cover, and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh strainer. You will end up with 1-1/2 to 2 cups of liquid after straining. Pour the strained liquid into a 2 quart pitcher. Add lemon juice into a 2 quart pitcher.
Heat 2 cups of water and the sugar, and stir until sugar dissolves. Let cool.
Pour sugar and water mixture into the pitcher. Add enough water to fill the 2 qt pitcher. Stir well.
Chill in refrigerator for a couple of hours or serve over ice.
