I know summer is long gone in many parts of the world or at least in mine. But I do love to have chilled juices in this rainy weather at times. Are you too like me?? So while it lasts, I am making use of the watermelon available and making fresh juice and popsicles and enjoying. This is not a recipe as such, I know. But watermelon makes such good pics.. So I couldn't resist the urge to click.. I am way below average in clicking shots of drinks and beverages but I love to click them still.. And hence they make their way to the blog as well :)
Preparation Time : 10 minutes
Serves : 2 glasses
I Used:
| Watermelon (chilled) | - | 1 cup (chopped) |
| Honey | - | 1 tsp |
| Salt | - | A pinch |
| Lemon juice (optional) | - | 1 tbsp |
The Way:
1. Cut the watermelon. De-seed it. Then take out the red portion and chop it roughly
2. Add it to a blender jar and blend it smooth. Then add honey (if needed, if the melon is sweet enough you need not add honey. Also can use sugar instead) and a pinch of salt (enhances taste, if you do not like it then you can avoid salt) and lemon juice (if using, I did not use) and give a quick blend
3. Do not add water as the melon has a good amount of water content. If you are not using chilled watermelon, then refrigerate the juice for a while and serve chilled or you can use 2-3 ice cubes while serving. Do not keep the juice for long as it will not taste good. Recommend to serve immediately after making
