Ingredients
- 3 cups watermelon (peeled, diced volume/ weight)
- ⅓ cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 cup water
- ¼ cup simple syrup (or more/less to taste), see notes
- mint & ice for serving
Instructions
- Put the watermelon cubes in a blender and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine strainer to remove seeds and coarse pulp - you should get around 2 cups (480ml) of watermelon juice.
- Combine the strained watermelon juice, lemon juice, water and simple syrup and stir to mix. Adjust a little to taste as you feel needed, eg a little more simple syrup or water. Chill if not using immediately.
- Gently stir before serving over ice, garnished with mint.
Notes
- To make simple syrup, combine equal parts by volume sugar and water (so eg ½ cup/120ml water and ½ cup/100g sugar) in a small pan. Warm over a medium heat, stirring now and then, until the sugar has dissolved then remove from the heat, set aside and let it cool. Store in a jar or bottle in the fridge for up to a week or two and use as needed.
- We really like this made as watermelon mint lemonade by infusing the syrup with mint - simply add the leaves from around 3 stems of mint to the syrup once the sugar has dissolved and let it steep in the syrup as it cools. Then, strain as you transfer to a jar/bottle.
