Contributed By: sinisterbladeIngredients
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 10 cup seedless watermelon, cubed in 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- 0.5 cup loosely packed mint leaves
- lemon slices
- fresh mint sprigs
Directions
- Make a simple syrup by combining 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small pan over medium-high heat.
- Heat the liquid just until the sugar is complete dissolved, 5-6 minutes. Set the simple syrup aside to cool.
- Pulse the watermelon in a blender until smooth. (You may need to do this in 2 batches.) Strain the pureed watermelon through a fine mesh colander into a large bowl. Discard the pulp and rinse the blender container out with water.
- Return the watermelon liquid to the blender. Add the lemon juice and mint and blend until the mint is very finely chopped.
- Transfer the Watermelon Mint Lemonade to a juice pitcher. Slowly adjust for your desired sweetness by adding simple syrup to the lemonade.
- Chill until serving. Serve over ice, with lemon slices and fresh mint as a garnish.
