Homemade lemonade does not need to be so sweet you feel like you have to book a dentist appointment after drinking a glass of it.

​For me, the perfect balance of tangy lemon and sweetness from sugar - and in the case from watermelon - is the ideal way to refresh during the heat wave or the continues long hot summer days that I long for... 
  • 2 dl / 1 cup sugar
  • 2 dl / 1 cup of boiling water
  • 1 1/4 cups of freshly squeezed lemon juice 
  • 2 dl / 1 cup of cut watermelon pieces
  • 1 liter / 1 quart or to taste cold water

  1. Boil the water 
  2. Pour the boiled water over the sugar in a metal bowl and mix until the sugar is dissolved into the water making the simple-syrup (can be made in a pot as well, of course) Let the simple-syrup cool off 
  3. Cut the watermelon pieces
  4. Squeeze the lemons 
  5. Mix the lemon juice, with the bulb of the fruit but without the seeds, into the simple syrup
  6. Add the cut watermelon pieces
  7. Add cold water to your taste
  8. Serve ice cold, with a stem of mint if so desired  
*Washing lemons in a hot water before squeezing them should make it easier if squeezing by hand
*How many lemons depends on how big they are and how juicy they are. I used 3 rather large [1 lemon = 2-3 eggs] organic lemons

*Make the lemonade base (without the two last steps) ahead of time and freeze it into ice cubes to add into the lemonade as you serve it
*Lemonade should store fine in the fridge for a week
