This Watermelon Lemonade makes a really refreshing and healthy drink for kids this summer. Easy to make with just a few natural ingredients! When I made and photographed this recipe a couple of weeks ago the weather was absolutely glorious. But today, when I’m finally getting round to posting the recipe, there is torrential rain outside! That’s a typical British summer for you but hopefully the sun will be back shortly so I can enjoy this delicious Watermelon Lemonade again! 

Made with just a few simple and natural ingredients, this refreshing drink can be whipped up in just a couple of minutes. It contains just a small amount of honey and so makes the perfect alternative to sugary fizzy drinks for kids this summer.

It contains over 90% water, making it really hydrating as well as being a great source of Vitamins A and C and many nutrients and antioxidants.

I used the juice of two lemons in my recipe but if you think that this might be too tart for your kids start with just one lemon and you can always add more.

I’ve been getting so many messages and tags on Instagram from you guys making my recipes. Please keep sending me the pictures. Its always the highlight of my day to see them!

    Super excited to try this and all your other watermelon recipes this summer. My daughter and I are both huge watermelon fans so it’ll be nice to try something a bit different with it for a change. This sounds so refreshing!
