Watermelon juice is the quintessential summer refreshment. It’s not only delicious and hydrating but also packed with nutrients like vitamins A, B6, and C, as well as antioxidants and amino acids that promote heart health and reduce inflammation. Here’s a simple recipe to make fresh watermelon juice, which you can enjoy on any hot day to cool down and replenish your body.
Ingredients Needed:
- 4 cups of cubed watermelon (seeds removed if preferred)
- Juice of 1 lime (optional for added zest and vitamin C)
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional for extra freshness)
- Ice cubes (optional for serving chilled)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Watermelon:
- Start by selecting a ripe watermelon; it should feel heavy for its size and have a creamy yellow spot where it rested on the ground. Wash the outer surface to remove any dirt or residues.
- Cut the watermelon into slices, remove the rind, and then chop the flesh into small cubes. If you prefer a seedless drink, you can use a seedless watermelon or remove the seeds from the cubes.
- Blending:
- Place the watermelon cubes into a blender. If you have a large quantity, you might need to do this in batches.
- Blend on high speed until the watermelon is completely pulverized and the mixture looks smooth.
- Strain (Optional):
- For a smoother juice, strain the blended watermelon through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher or bowl to remove the pulp. This step is optional, depending on your texture preference.
