Notes
- Select your watermelon properly. It should be ripe and sweet. The tips above will help you with that.
- Adding sugar is optional. If the watermelon is already sweet enough, skip the sugar. You can also choose a healthier sweetener like honey, palm sugar, or maple syrup.
- If you want to keep some pulp in the lemonade, don't strain it.
- Instead of using mint leaves just for garnishing, blend it with watermelon. The lemonade will be tastier.
- You can also use sparkling water instead of water in this recipe.
