Summer can't get here fast enough - the 2 younger boys are out of school as of TODAY and I am going to welcome them home with a BIG hug! I might be the only working mama I know that loves summer with her kids. Maybe that's because I know where they are and what they are doing! (: Here's a treat we will enjoy often, as the summer promises to be loooong and hot.
Watermelon Lemonade
(adapted from Good Housekeeping)
10 cups seedless watermelon chunks
1 c. fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup white sugar
Do this in half batches unless your blender is ginormous...puree the sugar, lemon juice, and watermelon chunks til smooth. Strain using a fine mesh sieve over a pretty pitcher (if you want it less pulp-y).
I so love summer!

ReplyDeleteOh, that looks so delicious and refreshing! I'm usually not a big fan of watermelon, but I'm enjoying it this year!
ReplyDeleteI have a huge watermelon that is probably going to go bad in the next few days unless we start using it up. This is a great idea! It sounds refreshing and definitely would be fun with an extra addition to Mommy and Daddy's cups.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
