I have just made some "yelm", and one of my favourite drinks, when I can get it, is Lidl's raspberry lemonade. Or, indeed, their strawberry lemonade. They are not selling it in my branch at the moment, but they had a coupon for money off strawberries. And I have (as I frequently do) a craze on watermelon just now, and as boxes of watermelon chunks are expensive, I thought I'd buy a whole watermelon. I used some in a salad, but used the rest in our drink.
All measurements are approximate - I basically eyeballed it!
Chunk of watermelon (about 30 grammes, I think; it wasn't a huge chunk)
1/2 punnet strawberries
2 tbs "yelm" concentrate (or a commercial lemon squash)
Iced water
Cut the melon into chunks, and hull the strawberries. Put them in a blender with the yelm, and whizz until smooth. Top up with iced water and shake or blend again. Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
I think it needed the lemon to cut the sweetness a bit, but do experiment. Maybe a spoonful of lemon juice instead might be nice....
