Ingredients

  • 4 cups cubed watermelon
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 cups cold water
  • Ice cubes

Method

  1. Put the watermelon into a blender. Cover, and puree until smooth. Then strain through a fine-mesh sieve and discard the pulp.
  2. To make simple syrup, in a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the sugar and 1/2 cup of water and bring to a boil until sugar dissolves.
  3. Remove syrup from heat and cool completely.
  4. Put ice cubes in a pitcher.
  5. Add the syrup and watermelon juice, then stir in the lemon juice.
  6. Top up with cold water, stir gently and serve immediately.
