Watermelon lemonade

Ingredients

• 3 cups watermelon ((peeled, diced volume/ weight))
• 1/3 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 cup water
• 1/4 cup simple syrup ((or more/less to taste), see notes)
• mint & ice for serving

Instructions

1. 1

   Put the watermelon cubes in a blender and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine strainer to remove seeds and coarse pulp - you should get around 2 cups (480ml) of watermelon juice.

2. 2

   Combine the strained watermelon juice, lemon juice, water and simple syrup and stir to mix. Adjust a little to taste as you feel needed, eg a little more simple syrup or water. Chill if not using immediately.

3. 3

   Gently stir before serving over ice, garnished with mint.
