Step-by-Step Instructions for Watermelon Lemonade
- Begin by cutting your chilled seedless watermelon into cubes. Use about 4 cups of watermelon, placing them into a blender. Blend on high until smooth, which should take about 30 seconds. Once blended, pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl, pressing gently with a spatula to extract as much juice as possible while discarding the pulp.
- In a large pitcher, add 2 cups of cold water, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Using a whisk, mix these ingredients thoroughly for about 1-2 minutes until the sugar completely dissolves. Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if needed.
- Carefully pour the strained watermelon juice into the pitcher containing your lemonade base. Stir gently with a spoon until everything is well combined. The mixture should have a vibrant pink color.
- Fill individual glasses or a large serving pitcher with ice cubes to keep the Watermelon Lemonade extra cool. Pour the lemonade mixture over the ice, filling each glass to the brim. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
- If not serving immediately, cover the pitcher and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir gently before serving.
