Ingredients
- 3 cups watermelon, diced
- 8 cups water, divided
- 4 lemons, freshly squeezed
- ½ cup white granulated sugar
Instructions
- In a food processor, blend the diced watermelon with 2 cups of the water until smooth.
- Pour the watermelon mixture into a large pitcher.
- Whisk in the remaining water, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Serve over ice and enjoy this refreshing watermelon lemonade!
Notes
- Storage: This lemonade can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. If your pitcher doesn’t have a lid, cover it with plastic wrap to preserve freshness.
- Tips:
- To make the liquid clear, use a fine mesh strainer to strain the watermelon juice, though I recommend keeping it simple for ease.
- Choose ripe, sweet watermelon for the best flavor, especially during watermelon season.
- For maximum juice from your lemons, ensure they’re at room temperature or microwave them for 15 seconds before juicing.
- Stir the lemonade regularly, as fresh watermelon juice tends to settle at the bottom.
