Watermelon Lemonade Recipe
Here is how to make it.
The first step is to make watermelon juice puree with watermelon and lemon. Once the puree is made, you’ll pour cold water over the concentrated watermelon juice. It’s that easy to make this healthy drink. I love this way of making watermelon-flavored homemade lemonade. This allows you to make ahead the puree days in advance and use it however way you want to. You can also free the watermelon juice in ice cubes in the freezer for later use.
