Watermelon Juice | Fresh Watermelon Juice Recipe

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

Watermelon Popsicle Recipe | Easy Watermelon Popsicle Recipe | Kids Special Summer Recipe

As I am drafting this recipe, it's my little one's reaction on seeing the popsicle that comes to my mind. He kept on jumping saying "ice-cream, ice-cream".. Popsicles are so easy to make and so refreshing in this summer heat right :) And when you make popsicles out of watermelon and likes, it is easy to up the little one's water intake who is otherwise very hesitant to drink water :( Here I have added just a tsp of honey to the pureed watermelon to make this pops. If you like a tangy flavour add little lemon juice as well. Maybe you can make it more colourful by sneaking in a slice of kiwi or lemon as well :) In the pics the colour seems a little pale coz they were snapped right after taking out of the freezer. After a while they turned bright red !

I Took: 

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

I Used:

Watermelon (cut into cubes)	-	2 cups
Honey	-	1 tsp (optional)
Lemon juice	-	1 tsp (optional)

The Way:

1. Roughly chop the water melon into cubes. Remove the seeds and take them in a blender jar

2. Grind them. Add honey if using (if the watermelon is sweet enough you can omit them) and again give a quick blend

3. Pour the puree into popsicle moulds so that they are 3/4 full

4. Freeze them in refrigerator overnight or for at least 8 hours

5. After 8 hours de-mould them gently (can show under tap water while de-moulding) and enjoy !
