If you are looking for a great way to use up leftover watermelon, then this chiller is for you! There are only three ingredients in this yummy drink. Watermelon, frozen strawberries and lemon juice. Yep, that's it! While there are numerous chiller recipes out there, many of them contain sugar. Why would you want to add sugar? Watermelon and strawberries are pretty sweet all on their own!! For something a little different, I filled up an ice cube tray with some of the chiller mixture, tossed it into the freezer overnight and then put a few cubes into my glass of unsweetened tea instead of regular ice cubes. As the ice cubes melted, they lent a pretty neat taste to my tea!
I am definitely going to have one of these drinks today, the mercury around these parts is supposed to climb to over 90 degrees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Phew, that's HOT!!
Ingredients:
6 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
1 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 cup lemon juice
In large bowl, put the watermelon, strawberries and lemon juice. With large spoon, mix well. Put two cups of the mixture at a time into a blender and "puree" until you get a smooth texture. It took my blender about 10-15 seconds to get the right consistency. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Makes 5 one-cup servings.
