Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups ripe watermelon chunks seedless or de-seeded, cubed
  • to taste fresh mint leaves optional, for added aroma

Equipment

  • Large cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Blender
  • Fine Mesh Strainer or Cheesecloth
  • Measuring cups

Method
 

  1. Place the watermelon chunks into the blender jar, ensuring not to overload to allow for smooth blending.
  2. Add a handful of fresh mint leaves if using, for a hint of herbal aroma, and blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and vibrant red in color, about 30 seconds. The mixture should feel frothy and well combined.
  3. Place a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a large bowl or jug, and pour the blended watermelon mixture through, using a spoon or spatula to gently press and extract as much juice as possible while leaving fibrous pulp behind.
  4. Once strained, discard the pulp and transfer the smooth watermelon juice into serving glasses. You may serve immediately, optionally over ice cubes for extra chill and refreshment.
  5. If desired, garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint and a small slice of watermelon to enhance presentation and aroma.

Notes

Ensure the watermelon is very ripe for the best flavor. For a slightly sweeter juice, add a touch of honey or a splash of lime juice during blending.
