- 1 cup of mint leaves
Watermelon Mint Lemonade
- 4 cups watermelon cubed

Instructions
Mint-Infused Simple Syrup
- In a small sauce pan combine water, sugar, and mint leaves.
- Bring to a simmer and simmer 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely. Strain to remove mint leaves.
- Transfer to an airtight container.
Watermelon and Mint Lemonade
- Peel your lemons using a pairing knife. If you prefer to use lemon juice rather than whole lemons, see note.
- In a blender combine watermelon, lemons, simple syrup, and water.
- Use whole juice setting to blend.
- Serve over ice.
Notes
- Skip Juicing the Lemons. Using a high-speed blender allows you to simply peel them and throw them in whole.
- Plan to Hand Juice. If you would rather juice your lemons than blend them, increase the amount of lemons to six.
- Storing. Keep it in an airtight container and it will last about 2 weeks in your fridge. You can also freeze homemade lemonade in your freezer for about 3 months.
- Adjust the Flavor. Want a lighter or a sweeter flavor? You can add a bit of water for a lighter flavor or add more simple syrup for a sweeter flavor.
