Watermelon Mint Lemonade is PERFECT
Watermelon Mint Lemonade is PERFECT for these hot summer days. I created a mint simple syrup to sweeten the drink and impart a subtle minty flavor. This is such a fun and refreshing flavor combination!
Watermelon Mint Lemonade
8 cups seedless watermelon, cubed (bout ½ of a watermelon)
fresh mint (I used 1 whole package from the store—about 20 leaves)
1 c. fresh lemon juice (about 6 lemons)
1 c. white sugar
3 c. water
Make the mint simple syrup. In a small saucepan over about medium heat, add 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar. Add about 10 mint leaves. Bring to a simmer for about 3 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Discard the mint leaves.
In a blender, puree the watermelon cubes. Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl with a spout or directly into your pitcher.
Combine the strained watermelon juice (about 4 cups) with 1 cup of fresh lemon juice and about half of the cooled simple syrup. Stir and taste for sweetness. I ended up adding ALL of my simple syrup. Add in a few mint leaves and top with about 2 cups of water. Stir again and chill until ready to serve. The watermelon juice will settle if you don’t pour it right away, so stir again before serving over ice with a mint leaf for garnish. ENJOY!
