Remove from the heat. Let it cool down completely. Store in a fridge. use as required.
My mom tip -
* Use fresh and red coloured watermelon for good and healthy drinks ,because the sweetness of recipe depends upon how sweet and red watermelon are.
Taste it to check the sugar lemon proportion. If you find some sugar or lemon is inadequate,add as required.
*If you don't want to make simple syrup for any reason ..just skip it and add powdered sugar instead of sugar syrup.
(For powdered sugar - just grind sugar to fine powder in a grinder. Powdered sugar is ready to use.)
That's all for the day.we shall come very soon with some refreshing summer cooler.
