I am SO IN LOVE with fresh, homemade lemonade this summer. And I am loving trying new flavour combinations. My food processor is getting a workout these days with all my experiments. I've discovered that our 5 year old likes his lemonade on the tart side, while my hubby and I prefer things a little sweeter. My latest kick is Watermelon Lemonade. Here is a version that I made recently:
4 cups sliced/cubed watermelon (approximately 1/2 of a watermelon)
4 lemons
Water (3-4 cups, or depending on your taste)
Simple syrup (to taste) - Here is how to make simple syrup
In a food processor, puree the watermelon. Squeeze the juice out of the 4 lemons, and combine with the watermelon puree. STRAIN into your pitcher. Add ice cold water and mix. Add your simple syrup and mix. Start by adding a 1/2 cup of the syrup and taste - then add more syrup as needed to satisfy your taste buds!
I've also made a version throwing a little pineapple juice into the mix. Our son loved that one a LOT!
Enjoy!!
Sounds delicious! I will have to make this once summer comes along!
