Homemade Watermelon Lemonade
"Summer is finally here. Cool off with this simple homemade Southern Watermelon Lemonade. Nothing says summer better than a piece of cold Watermelon and a glass of cold lemonade. In this post, I am combining my love for watermelon and lemonade to make this delicious Watermelon Lemonade. To begin making this lemonade, you make a simple sugar by combining a cup of sugar with a cup of water. Heat it on the stove or even in the microwave until the sugar has dissolved. The water will turn clear when the sugar has dissolved."
