Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups fresh watermelon flesh cubed and de-seeded
  • 1/2 cup watermelon seeds cleaned and set aside
  • 1 tablespoon honey optional, for sweetness

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Fine mesh strainer
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Serving glasses

Method
 

  1. Prepare the watermelon by cutting it into cubes, removing the seeds, and setting aside the seeds for later use.
  2. Place the watermelon cubes into the blender, add honey if desired, and blend on high speed until completely smooth, about 30 seconds.
  3. Transfer the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl, using a spoon or spatula to press the pulp and extract the velvety juice while leaving excess pulp behind.
  4. Pour the strained juice into serving glasses, then add the reserved watermelon seeds to each glass, distributing them evenly.
  5. Chill the glasses in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance the refreshing quality of the beverage.
  6. Serve the watermelon juice immediately, garnished with a few additional seeds if desired, and enjoy a crunchy, velvety, and visually appealing drink.

Notes

For a sweeter taste, add more honey or a splash of lime. Use a clean, dry blender for best blending results. The seeds provide a crunchy contrast and should be added just before serving for optimal texture.
