Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cubed seedless watermelon
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice about 3–4 lemons
  • 1/4 cup honey or simple syrup adjust to taste
  • 2 cups cold water
  • Ice cubes
  • Lemon slices and mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Method
 

  1. Add the cubed watermelon to a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Strain the watermelon juice through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove pulp (optional for smoother texture).
  3. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and honey (or simple syrup) until well combined.
  4. Add cold water and stir again.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  6. Serve over ice and garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves if desired.

Notes

  • You can freeze the blended watermelon in ice cube trays for an even cooler drink.
  • Make it fizzy by substituting some of the water with sparkling water or club soda.
  • Use maple syrup or agave for a vegan option.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
