WOW! This is like a pitcher of nectar brought upon the earth by a fairy from the heavens! This drink is sooooo good, I can hardly describe it enough in words!! It's a hot sunny day here in Oman today, and the World Cup Cricket match is going on. We have little kids from our building popping into our home for 2 things right now: 1. Quite obvious, to take a peek at the WCC India vs. Kenya match and 2. To drink as much of this lemonade as possible;) They've enjoyed it so much, and they just want more and more! LOL. I've spent the last 2 hours doing this. Haha!! Thank you for posting a great recipe! I really wish you get lots of shining reviews for this one! -
This was great! I think! I didn`t have any but my son and friends made it dissappear really fast! With Lots of OooHummmms! I used frozen watermelon! I freeze when watermelon is in season to have smoothies all year. My sons favorite fruit next to raspberries. This will be made again with fresh watermelon in the summer and enjoyed by our outdoor fireplace! -
This is delicious! You can use agave nectar instead of the corn syrup and some of the sugar if you want: tastes just the same and won't spike your blood sugar so much. -
I halved the sugar and omitted the corn syrup. I also used frozen watermelon cubes for the ice.

Super easy and very refreshing. The texture was great. I did find that it was a tad too sweet for us. I would definately cut back on the amount of sugar, possibly to 1/2 cup and then taste test.I am wondering if some watermelon is possibly sweeter than others naturally?

Very busy nanny/au pair, working for a very rich and snooty family, in a very large home, in a very snooty village. Just in case my employer comes here, please don't ask where I am from, or I'll be sacked like the last nanny was. ;-) I take care of 4 gorgeous, and darling kids. 3 girls and a boy. The boy is the youngest (and my favorite). They are great children, very, very active. (Hyper)
I love to cook. I guess that's a given, why else would I be here. Part of my job is also to prepare meals for the family. The more they like my food, the longer I get to stay. (just a little joke)
On my day off, I usually go out to the cinema or some dance clubs with the other au pairs in this town. That's about it I think.
