Luscious Minty Watermelon Lemonade: A Refreshing Summer Drink Recipe

Refreshing Minty Watermelon Lemonade

Today, I’m excited to share my recipe for a delicious and refreshing Homemade Watermelon Lemonade with a twist of mint. This drink is perfect for hot summer days or as a pick-me-up anytime you need a burst of flavor. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 medium watermelon, diced (about 500g)
• 4 lemons, juiced (about 200ml)
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 cups water

Kitchen Tools:

• blender
• strainer
• pitcher

Start by blending the diced watermelon until smooth. Strain the watermelon juice to remove any pulp and seeds. In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved to create a simple syrup.

Next, in a large pitcher, mix together the watermelon juice, lemon juice, mint leaves, and simple syrup. Stir well to combine all the flavors. Let the mixture chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour to enhance the flavors.

Serve the Minty Watermelon Lemonade over ice and garnish with a slice of lemon and a sprig of fresh mint. The combination of sweet watermelon, tangy lemon, and refreshing mint is sure to delight your taste buds.

The approximate total weight of this Homemade Watermelon Lemonade is 1000g, making around 4 servings. Each serving is about 250g, with an estimated calorie count of 120 per serving.

One unique tip to elevate this drink is to freeze some watermelon cubes and use them as ice cubes in your Lemonade. Not only will it keep your drink cold without watering it down, but it also adds a fun and fruity twist.

I hope you give this recipe a try and enjoy it as much as I do. Feel free to customize it by adjusting the sweetness or adding different herbs for a personalized touch. Cheers to a refreshing summer beverage!
