The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • Sugar
  • Lemon
  • Chopped Seedless Watermelon
  • Mint Sprig

Instruction

  • Before juicing the lemons, rub the skin aggressively with ½ cup of granulated sugar. This will release the natural oils in the lemon skin and perfume the sugar for the simple syrup.
  • In a small bowl, combine ½ cup of recently boiled water with perfumed granulated sugar to create a simple syrup. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved. Set aside.
  • Combine the remaining 3 cups of water, lemon juice and simple syrup in a pitcher. Stir. Place in the refrigerator and keep chilled until ready to serve.
  • While lemonade is chilling, purée watermelon in a food processor until liquefied. Strain, reserving the juice and discarding the pulp.
  • Add puree to lemonade and chill mixture longer if necessary. Pour over ice and serve with complementary herbs if desired—we recommend a sprig of mint in each glass.
