Summer is upon us. Hot temps are the norm now in Florida, so my daughter has been begging for Watermelon-Lemonade.  This tasty treat is good for her and yummy too!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 – 2 cups of fresh watermelon
• 1 lemon
• 10-15 fresh mint leaves
  
• 1/2 cup of sugar
  
• water to top off pitcher

Directions:

1. Scoop the Watermelon into a blender or blender cup
2. Drop in your fresh mint leaves
   
3. Blend until it is all a smooth consistency
   
4. Pour into a small mesh sieve
   
5. Allow watermelon mixture to separate
6. Squeeze juice from 1 lemon
   
7. Use a rubber spatula to work all the liquid left out through the sieve
8. Pour the lemon juice into the pitcher
   
9. Top pitcher off with water & add sugar
   
   (note to self, 6 yr olds like to spill sugar so they can lick it up)
10. Stir thoroughly
    
11. Pour over ice and enjoy!  Stores in the fridge for up to 4 days – if it lasts that long!
    
    

Her big glass of lemonade was gone before I could even sit down to write this up!
