Watermelon Lemonade

Watermelon Lemonade is a refreshing beverage that contains chilled watermelon chunks in sweetened lemonade. 

It’s the perfect treat to beat summer’s heat. 

Sip with a straw and scoop cold fruit with a spoon.

HELPFUL TIP

Watermelons contain solid seeds. 

Watermelons also contain soft/translucent seeds which are the “coatings of seeds” that haven’t matured.

HELPFUL TIP

I didn’t remove them for this recipe because there are so many. 

Still delicious.
