This refreshing beverage is easy made and delicious. I made it this 4th of July for family picnic. Takes about 10 minutes to make.
- Place the watermelon into a blender. Cover, and puree until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve.
- Bring sugar and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in 3 cups of cold water and the lemon juice. Divide the ice into 12 glasses, and scoop 2 to 3 tablespoons of watermelon puree over the ice, then top with the lemonade. Gently stir before serving.
The idea was inspired by this blog recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/watermelon-lemonade-2/?scale=6&ismetric=0
