Ingredients
- 1/2 small watermelon (1 1/2 pounds)
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
Preparation
Baking Directions:
Put 1 cup each water and sugar in a small saucepan over high heat.
Boil until the sugar dissolves and cool.
Peel half a small watermelon (about 1 1/2 pounds) and cut the flesh into large chunks.
Put them in a blender and purée until smooth.
Pour the purée through a fine mesh strainer and discard the solids.
Combine the juice with the chilled syrup.
Pour the strained watermelon into an ice cube tray (plastic, not silicon), and freeze until solid.
Make lemonade (to your specifications), using the simple syrup to sweeten it, and adding vodka to make it boozy if you like.
Serve in glasses over the watermelon ice cubes.
