Watermelon Lemonade

I started making lemonade, using the bottled lemon juice from the store.
Since I had 2 big containers of lemon juice, expiring soon, I made lemonade quite often.
Then, I bought a watermelon. Tired of eating watermelon on it's own and drinking lemonade, I thought about making a flavored lemonade.
Then, this recipe popped up in my e-mail one day.

It's easy, refreshing, and a great way to get rid of lemon juice and watermelon, before they expire or rot. I don't like having 1/2 a watermelon taking up shelf space in my fridge, so this is perfect.

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! It’s truly the best of summer when you can have lemonade and watermelon at once. Be sure to taste the watermelon first. If it’s very sweet, reduce the sugar. Offer some refreshment to the planet and economy, too, by going organic and local when you can.

Ingredients

6 cups 1-inch cubes seedless watermelon (from about a 5-pound melon)
1 bottle (10-ounce) 365 Everyday Value® Organic Lemon Juice
6 cups water
3/4 cup cane sugar
Crushed ice
Mint sprigs, for garnish

Method

Working in batches as necessary, purée watermelon and lemon juice in blender until smooth; transfer to a large container. Add water and sugar; stir until dissolved. Pour over ice in tall glasses, garnish with mint and thin slices of watermelon, if desired, and serve.
