Ingredients
  • Half a watermelon, cut into cubes (about 5 cups)

Instructions
  1. Cook the sugar in ¼ cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely melted.

  5. Pour this mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the pitcher.
  6. Add in simple syrup and stir to combine.
  7. Serve over ice.
Notes
Use 2 lemons if you prefer it mildly sour. If you prefer it sour, you can use 3 lemons.
