Watermelon Lemonade

Watermelon Lemonade 8 cups watermelon, cubed 1 cup sugar 1 cup water (for the simple syrup) 1 cup lemon juice 3 to 4 cups cold water (to dilute) Make simple syrup by heating the sugar and water in a small saucepan until the sugar is dissolved completely. Set aside to cool. While the simple syrup is cooling, use a juicer to extract the juice from 4 to 6 lemons, enough for one cup of juice. Add the juice and the simple syrup to a pitcher. Place the cubed watermelon in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour through a fine mesh strainer to remove any seeds or thick pulp. Stir into the pitcher. Add 3 to 4 cups of cold water, more or less to the desired strength. Refrigerate 30 to 40 minutes.
