Watermelon Juice
How to make watermelon juice without a juicer. This recipe adds lemon juice and uses the white rind of the watermelon to add more nutrients and reduce the sweetness of the juice.
Equipment
- Blender
- Cutting Board
- Large Knife
- Citrus Juicer
- Vegetable Peeler
Ingredients
- 2-3 Slices Watermelon full round disk slices
- 1/2 Lemon, Juice from 1/2 a lemon juiced
- 1 Sprig Mint washed
Instructions
- Wash a ripe watermelon and cut it in half.
- Cut 2-3 disks of watermelon from one half, depending on how big your blender is and how much juice you would like to make.
- Remove the green skin from each disk with a sharp knife or a vegetable peeler. We want to keep the white rind and use it as part of the blended juice.
- Cut each disk into pieces that will easily fit into your blender.
- Place the watermelon into the blender.
- Now add the lemon juice to the watermelon.
- Blend until all the chunks of watermelon are smooth. Don't over blend otherwise it will become very watery. We like to keep a slushy texture.
- Pour into your favorite glass, garnish with mint leaves and enjoy!
Notes
To make a nice iced slushy for a hot summer day: place the juice in mason jar and put in the freezer for 1 hour. Now pour into your favorite glass and enjoy a thick ice gold drink that has thickened like a slushy but is not yet frozen.
