Watermelon Delight

For those of you who subscribe via email: come over and check out the site! It's received a bit of a makeover and it now features a fundraiser for one of my classmates. After you do that, please do yourself a favor and make this drink as it is beyond heavenly! Helllooo, summer- this drink just made you bearable!

2 cups watermelon, cubed
1/4 lemon
6 large basil leaves, or 10 small ones
Ice cubes

Juice the watermelon, lemon, and basil leaves. If you don't have a juicer just use a high power blender until it's completely liquidized, then strain it using a mesh strainer. (If you're using the blender make sure to remove the lemon peel before blending.) Serve over ice.

This makes just a single serving, next time I will use an entire watermelon and make a pitcher's worth to share.
