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 or ladle over ice in tall glasses, garnish with mint and thin slices of watermelon, if desired, and serve.

    I'm going to try this tonight- only with a few changes to make it super low cal. I'm going to use watermelon, water, squeeze 1/2 a lemon, and use Truvia (awesome, natural no-cal sweetener from the herb steevia) to sweeten it. I'll let you know how it goes.
