I use agave or stevia to sweeten , but(n.v.) honey is originally used -so whatever works for you :)
A twist on lemonade: stir in pureed watermelon. "You can adjust the level of sweetness by experimenting with the amount of honey and lemon,"


INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 pounds sliced seedless watermelon, rind removed
Zest of 1 lemon
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup mild honey (such as orange blossom)
1 lemon, thinly sliced, for garnish

In the bowl of a food processor, place watermelon and process until very smooth. Strain through a coarse sieve set over a bowl, stirring to push through any pulp. Pour juice into a large pitcher. Add lemon zest.

In a bowl, whisk lemon juice and honey until honey dissolves; stir into watermelon juice. Stir in 1 1/2 cups cold water; cover and refrigerate until very cold. Serve over ice and garnish with lemon slices.
