Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups watermelon (seedless, cubed)
- 0.5 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 4 sprigs mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 4 slices lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut a seedless watermelon into cubes and measure out 4 cups. Spread the cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer, then freeze them for at least 1–2 hours or until solid.
In a small bowl, combine freshly squeezed lemon juice, granulated sugar, and water. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Set aside.
Add the frozen watermelon cubes to a blender along with the lemon juice mixture and 2 cups of ice cubes.
Blend on high speed until smooth and slushy in texture. This may take about 1–2 minutes depending on your blender.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a little more sugar or honey, blending again briefly if any changes are made.
Pour the frozen watermelon lemonade into 4 glasses. Garnish with optional mint leaves and lemon slices, if desired.
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon and enjoy your refreshing frozen creation!
