Cold-Pressed Watermelon Syrup

·
6 servings

  1. Prepare the watermelon with sugar

    Cut the cleaned watermelon into small cubes. In a bowl, mix it thoroughly with granulated sugar so that every piece is nicely coated.

  2. Macerate in the fridge

    Cover the bowl carefully and let it rest in the fridge for 8 to 24 hours. During this time, the sugar will gradually draw out all the delicious juice from the watermelon.

  3. Blend and strain the mixture

    Once it's had time to rest, blend the whole mixture until smooth with a hand blender or in a blender. Strain the blended mixture through a very fine sieve or a clean cheesecloth. This gives you a beautifully clear, smooth syrup with no solid bits.

  4. Storage and lemonade tip

    Pour the finished syrup into a clean, sealable bottle and store it in the fridge for about 3–5 days. For the best lemonade, mix it with sparkling water, ice, and a splash of fresh lime.

  5. You're done!
