Refreshing Watermelon Punch with Jeju Lemon Syrup
Watermelon Punch: Bursting with Freshness from Jeju Lemon Syrup (Summer Drink, Summer Dessert)
A refreshing watermelon punch made with lemon syrup and sparkling water, perfect for a hot summer day.
Ingredients
- 1/6 of a medium watermelon
- 3-4 Tbsp Jeju lemon syrup (adjust to taste)
- 2/3 bottle (approx. 450ml) of sparkling water, chilled
- Ice cubes, as needed
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the watermelon thoroughly. Then, cut the watermelon into bite-sized pieces. Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop can help you create perfectly round, appealing spheres.
Step 2
Place all the cut watermelon pieces into a large, deep bowl. If the watermelon itself isn’t as sweet as you’d like, you can optionally add about 1/2 teaspoon of sugar or agave syrup and gently mix it in. This can help enhance the watermelon’s natural sweetness. (Optional step)
Step 3
Now, it’s time to add the flavor. Pour 3-4 tablespoons of your homemade Jeju lemon syrup over the watermelon. The sweetness and bright citrus notes from the lemon syrup will blend beautifully with the watermelon, creating a richer taste. Feel free to adjust the amount according to your preference.
Step 4
Finally, add chilled sparkling water and a generous amount of ice cubes for ultimate refreshment. The sparkling water adds a delightful fizziness, making it even more invigorating. Gently stir all the ingredients together. Taste and adjust the sweetness and lemon flavor by adding more lemon syrup or a touch of sweetener if desired. Serve immediately for the best experience!
