Watermelon Lemonade

What speaks summer more than a combination of these two things?

The very sound of Watermelon Lemonade makes my mouth water! 
 (originally from Martha Stewart).

WATERMELON LEMONADE
 2 Lemons, quartered
1 cup fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 medium seedless watermelon flesh cut into chunks.

Squeeze lemons into a large pitcher; add squeezed lemon quarters. Add mint and sugar; mash with a wooden spoon until mint is bruised and sugar is dissolved.

In a blender, puree watermelon in batches until smooth: pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher (you should have about 8 cups juice). Stir to combine. Serve over ice. Refrigerate covered for up to 3 days.

Enjoy!

**This would make delicious popsicles or slushees!! Yummy Yummy!
