Summer is here! So are Watermelons!
Watermelon lemonade is a very refreshing summer drink and I have used a few mint leaves to make it more refreshing. The memories of having watermelons in my childhood are with my younger siblings and we used to have it straight from the refrigerator. We used to have them at 4 in the evening in our summer holidays with all giggles and funny stories.
Watermelon is a flowering plant that originated in West Africa and belongs to the family of Curcurbitaceae. It is a large edible fruit which is a berry with a hard rind on the outside which can be of various colors like green, black, and yellow and is botanically called a pepo
