Watermelon Juice

This recipe involves extracting fresh juice from ripe watermelon using a hand-crank juicer. The main ingredients are watermelon chunks, which are pressed to release a vibrant, ruby red liquid with a slightly pulpy texture and natural sweetness. The final dish is a refreshing, semi-translucent beverage with visible seed remnants and a bright, inviting color.

Method
 

  1. Slice the ripe watermelon into manageable chunks using a sharp knife on the cutting board.
  2. Assemble the hand-crank juicer and pour the watermelon chunks into the feeding chute.
  3. Turn the handle steadily to press the watermelon, watching the vibrant red juice flow into a collection vessel below. Continue until all chunks are processed, noting the separation of juice from pulp and seeds.
