Watermelon Lemonade From Scratch

Molly LaFontaine
This watermelon lemonade is made from scratch with simple, wholesome ingredients. No artificial dyes or concentrates, just watermelon, lemons, pure cane sugar, and water! It's an iced drink you'll crave when the weather gets hot. The best part is you can whip it up in minutes! I hope this drink finds a special place in your fridge every summer, like it has in ours!
