Description
Simple Watermelon Lemonade – a cool and refreshing alcohol-free drink in summers. Here, I am sharing with you a simple and easy lemonade drink to cool you down this summer that refreshes your mind and body in just a few minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 watermelon cubed in chunks
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup granulated sugar (more or less to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon fresh strained lime juice
For serving
- Fresh mint leaves
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- To prepare watermelon lemonade, cut the watermelon into small cubes.
- Add it to the blender and blend it to make a smooth puree.
- Next, using a fine strainer, strain all the juice into a bowl.
- Heat a pan, add water and sugar. Keep mixing until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Put some lime juice in a mug or serving glass. Pour over some sugar syrup then add strained watermelon juice and little water.
- Give a good mix.
- Pour over some ice cubes and mint leaves.
- The watermelon lemonade is ready to serve.
Notes
- This may seem tough when choosing a ripe and sweet watermelon but don’t worry. Ripe and sweet watermelon is heavy for their size, so juicy inside, and has a creamy and yellow spot. Check it by tapping your thumb. Its surface must be firm, and it must have a deep hollow sound.
- If the watermelon is sweet enough, you can skip the sugar. You can also add a healthier sweetener like honey, palm sugar, or maple syrup. Adding sugar is optional.
- This watermelon lemonade is much foamier if you don’t sieve it. But make sure, remove the seeds when adding to the blender jar. I like a smoother version with less foam. Straining the watermelon juice is optional.
- Instead of water, you can also use sparkling water like soda in this recipe.
- Additionally, this summer drink will be much tastier, if you blend the mints leave along with watermelon, instead of using mints just for garnishing.
- This drink can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days, or freeze in form of ice cubes.
