Here’s what I want to make next time we have extra watermelon on our hands!<\/p>\n

I stumbled onto a recipe for watermelon lemonade on a blog and it sounded delicious.  It was a bit big, long and complicated so I went googling!  Most of the recipes I found called for astounding amounts of watermelon (15 cups!) and containers of lemonade concentrate.  I am not only cheap (and lazy!) but also a bit of a natural freak, so I like things to be as "from scratch" as possible.  I went looking and this one<\/a> from about.com fit the bill!<\/p>\n

Watermelon Lemonade Recipe<\/h1>\n


<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The mild flavour of the watermelon blends nicely with the tart lemon juice. This unusual lemonade recipe will quench your thirst and keep you refreshed all afternoon long.<\/div>\n

Ingredients:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • 6 cups watermelon<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup water<\/li>\n
  • 1\/3 cup sugar<\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 cup lemon juice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Preparation:<\/h3>\n

    Remove as many seeds as you can from the watermelon flesh. Place watermelon and water in a blender and blend until smooth. Strain liquid into a pitcher, along with sugar and lemon juice. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Refrigerate until chilled, then serve. <\/p>\n

    We always get our watermelons from a nearby farm family that sells produce from July through October, and I know it’s a long wait until their fabulous melons are ready.  Mine are about an inch high so I’m hoping the supermarket will run a sale this week.<\/p>\n

    Oh yes, I’m cheap, lazy, a natural freak AND impatient!  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

    Happy Tuesday!
