How to Make Watermelon Lemonade
This fantastic version of the classic lemonade is perfect for hot days. It’s highly hydrating, and because it tastes so delicious, you’ll want to drink it all up. Moreover, it’s a very healthy option that offers numerous benefits.
Watermelon lemonade combines the acidity of lemons with the sweetness and freshness of watermelon, creating a drink that is a true pleasure for the palate.
To make this beverage, you’ll need a blender or a mixer. However, it’s important to note that the result will not be the same. Using a mixer will yield a thicker drink because it blends the watermelon. On the other hand, with a blender, you’ll get a more liquid result. So choose according to your preferences, as both ways will turn out delicious.
Once you’ve made your choice, simply blend or juice the watermelon with water and lemon juice. If you opted for blending instead of juicing, you can strain the mixture to achieve a smoother drink.
Afterward, let it cool thoroughly by refrigerating it for at least a couple of hours. You can also serve it with lots of ice.
While we are making a healthy option without any sugar or other sweeteners, you can add a sweeter touch by using honey, agave syrup, or any other sweetener of your choice.
