Ingredients

  • 750 g seedless watermelon
  • 3 cups ice cubes or crushed ice
  • 4 cups (1 litre) coconut water
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Using a small sharp knife, remove the rind from the watermelon and roughly chop the flesh. You should have about 3 cups (500g) watermelon.
  2. Place the watermelon in a blender and blend until smooth. Strain through a sieve into a large jug, discarding any solid bits or sneaky seeds. You should have about 2 cups (500ml) juice.
  3. When you’re ready to serve, add the ice. Pour in the coconut water and lemon juice and stir with a big wooden spoon to combine. If you like, place slices of lemon and some mint leaves into serving glasses. Pour the lemonade over to serve.
