Ingredients
- 3 cups watermelon diced
- 8 cups water divided
- 4 lemons freshly squeezed
- ½ cup white granulated sugar
Instructions
- Blend the watermelon in a food processor with 2 cups of the water until the watermelon is smooth.
- Pour the watermelon mixture into a large pitcher and whisk in the rest of the water, the lemon juice, and the sugar.
Notes
Storage :
This lemonade can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. I recommend covering the top of the pitcher with plastic wrap if your pitcher does not have a lid.
Tips:
- Feel free to use a fine mesh strainer or sieve to make the watermelon juice into a clear liquid. I chose not to stain my liquid simply because straining would make this recipe more complicated. And my recipes are all about easy!
- Buy your melon during watermelon season or you’ll end up with a tart version of this fruit.
- In order to get the most juice from your lemons, make sure they’re at room temperature (or microwave them for about 15 seconds before juicing).
- Fresh watermelon juice tends to settle in the pitcher so the lemonade needs to be stirred regularly.
