Simple Southern Homemade Watermelon Lemonade
From: Diane Roark @ recipesforourdailybread.com/homemade-watermelon-lemonade/
Nothing says summer better than a piece of cold Watermelon and a glass of cold lemonade. In this post, I am combining my love for watermelon and lemonade to make this delicious Watermelon Lemonade.
Yield: 1/2 gallon
INGREDIENTS
One cup of sugar
One cup of water
One cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
4 cups cold water
6 cup watermelon, seedless
6 TO 8 mint leaves (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the sugar and one cup of water in a small saucepan on low until sugar is dissolved completely.
The sugar will go from cloudy to clear once it is dissolved.
Add four cups of cold water to a pitcher.
Pour the simple syrup made with the sugar and water into the pitcher.
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Puree the watermelon in a food processor or blender
Strain the watermelon puree with a fine mesh.
You should be left with 4 cups of watermelon juice.
Add the Watermelon strain puree to the pitcher.
Break up 6 to 8 mint leaves and add it to the pitcher, if using.
Stir well and add ice if wanted.
Enjoy and refrigerate any leftovers.
