Watermelon Lemonaid with Ginger
June 19, 2009
Okay so this may sound like too much. But it is absolutely amazing. I have become a believer. It is all thanks to Charlotte Ruttle, culinary/lemonaid genious.
Syrup:
Watermelon Lemonaid with Ginger
2 c sugar
2 c water
combine in sauce pan. disolve and let simmer with zest of 4 lemons and 3 tbsp fresh grated ginger. let simmer on med/low until all sugar is disolved (roughly 10 min)
Lemon Juice:
in meatime juice about six lemons for 250 ml of lemon juice.
*Add a pinch of salt to the syrup at the end of cooking to make sure it disolves. Then strain the syrup to get out the pulpy bits. Combine lemon juice and syrup, and add 6 more cups of water, and chill.
Watermelon:
Take a watermelon, cut up into chunks, blend and mix 50/50 with lemonaid.
Serve chilled or over ice. Garnish with mint if you like or spike with a little white rum. Mmmm. Sounds good doesn’t it? You want to make it right now don’t you. Well it should make you green with envy then to know that i am enjoying a tall glass of it myself.
