Ingredients
Method
- In a blender, combine the watermelon cubes and fresh mint leaves. Blend until smooth and well combined.
- Strain the watermelon-mint mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove pulp and mint bits.
- Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and granulated sugar to the pitcher. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Pour in the cold water and stir to combine. Taste the lemonade and adjust the sugar or lemon juice as needed.
- Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes to chill and allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve over ice in glasses. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and watermelon slices if desired.
Notes
For a sweeter drink, increase the sugar slightly. You can also use sparkling water instead of cold water for a fizzy version.
