Calories 137kcal
Equipment
- 1 Blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup diced watermelon less for pastel pink
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water for simple syrup
- 1 cup lemon juice
- 6 cups cold water to dilute
Instructions
- Begin by making a batch of simple syrup, which is made by simmering equal parts sugar and water. Heat until the liquid is clear and there are no more sugar grains.
- In a blender, blend fresh watermelon pieces and lemon juice together. Use a fine mesh strainer to remove the pulp.
- In a pitcher, mix the simple syrup, lemon/watermelon juice and water.
- Serve with ice and a lemon slice. Enjoy!!
Notes
- One cup of watermelon makes a super pigmented pink color like my photos show. If you want a pastel pink, try using half a cup of watermelon.
- For more lemon flavor, grate some lemon zest into your pitcher.
- Store without ice and add ice only when serving for the best flavor.
