Watermelon Lemonade

Ingredients:

• 8 cups seeded watermelon cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1 cup hulled and quartered fresh strawberries
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
• 2 cups water
• Thin watermelon wedges with the rind (to garnish)

Method:

1. In a food processor, pulse the watermelon, strawberries, and sugar until blended and smooth.
2. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a 2-quart container, pushing down on the solids to get all the juice. Add the lemon juice and enough of the water to make 1 1/2 quarts.
3. Chill until very cold. Serve over ice with a wedge of watermelon, if desired.
