Ingredients
- 4 cups seedless watermelon (cubed)
- 0.5 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional, or substitute with Paleo-compliant sweetener such as maple syrup)
- 2 cups cold water
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 6 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Cut the watermelon into cubes and remove any remaining seeds, even if it's labeled seedless.
Step 2
In a high-powered blender, add the watermelon pieces and blend until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 3
Using a fine-mesh sieve placed over a large bowl or pitcher, strain the watermelon juice to remove the pulp, pressing gently with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the pulp.
Step 4
Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and honey to the watermelon juice. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved for a naturally sweetened lemonade. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
Step 5
Mix in the cold water to dilute the juice slightly, adjusting to your preferred strength. Add less water for a stronger flavor or more for a milder drink.
Step 6
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the watermelon lemonade over the ice.
Step 7
Optional: Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a refreshing touch.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy!
