Serves 4-6

Make simple syrup: Combine sugar and water in small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. Take off heat and cool. To make watermelon juice, cut watermelon in half. Scoop out chunks of watermelon (don’t use the white rind) and remove seeds. Place in blender. Blend until liquefied, then strain to remove pulp. To make lemonade, combine watermelon juice, lemon juice and simple syrup in a pitcher. Add water (depending on your taste) and serve over ice.
