Prep time:
Total time:
Serves: 4
- Half a watermelon, cut into cubes (about 5 cups)
- ¼ cup sugar (more if your watermelon is not sweet)
- Juice of 2-3 lemons (see notes)
- 1 cup chilled water (for blending)
- ¼ cup hot water (For simple syrup)
- Cook the sugar in ¼ cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely melted.
- Alternatively, you can just dissolve the sugar in ¼ cup of hot water. This works just as well.

- In a blender, blend watermelon and some water in batches
- Pour this mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the pitcher.
- Add in simple syrup and stir to combine.
- Serve over ice.
Use 2 lemons if you prefer it mildly sour. If you prefer it sour, you can use 3 lemons.
