Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Watermelon (seedless, cubed)
- 0.5 cups Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 cups Cold water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 4 slices Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing your watermelon. If you’re using a whole watermelon, cut it into slices, remove the rind, and cube the inner flesh. Measure out 4 cups of watermelon cubes.
2. Add the watermelon cubes to a blender. Blend on high until you achieve a smooth puree, about 30-60 seconds.
3. Using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth, strain the watermelon puree into a large pitcher to remove any pulp. Discard the pulp or save it for another use.
4. Add 0.5 cups of freshly squeezed lemon juice to the pitcher with the strained watermelon juice.
5. Pour in 2 cups of cold water to dilute the mixture, stirring well to combine. Taste and adjust the ratio of water and lemon juice if needed, keeping Whole30 guidelines in mind (no added sugar).
6. Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the watermelon lemonade over the ice.
7. Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves and lemon slices for added fragrance and presentation.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30-compliant watermelon lemonade!
