Nothing feels as refreshing as a chilled glass of watermelon juice on a hot sunny day. Light, naturally sweet, and hydrating, this drink cools you down perfectly and is perfect to start your day on a fresh note.
3 cups watermelon (cubed, seeds removed) 1 tbsp lemon juice 4–5 leaves fresh mint 1–2 tsp sugar or honey (optional) 4–5 cubes of ice
Cut the ripe, juicy watermelon into cubes, remove the seeds, and keep it to chill for a while before you blend.
Add the watermelon cubes to the blender jar along with some fresh mint leaves to add a slight freshness to the drink.
Blend everything until it turns out smooth and a bit frothy. Do not blend for too long, as watermelon releases a lot of water naturally, and the drink can turn out to be too thin.
Add a few drops of lemon juice to the blended mixture. This will balance the sweetness and enhance the overall flavour.
Taste and adjust the sweetness if required. You can also skip it if the watermelon feels naturally sweet.
Pour this into a glass over ice cubes and serve instantly. Fresh watermelon juice tastes best when cold and freshly blended.
