Description
Refreshing and delicious watermelon juice with a hint of black salt.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pounds watermelon (1 kg, chilled)
- 1 teaspoon black salt (or lime juice)
Instructions
- Rinse the watermelon and remove the rind using a sharp knife. Cut the flesh roughly into 1-inch pieces.
- You will get approximately 26 oz (750 g) of watermelon flesh.
- Add the pieces to a blender or food processor. Don’t worry about the seeds, if there are any.
- Tip: Some blenders are not powerful enough and they need some liquid at their base to start blending. In this case, start by adding just a handful of watermelon pieces to the blender and blend them before adding the rest.
- Blend for 10-12 seconds. Do not over-blend; otherwise, the seeds (if any) will also blend along with the pulp.
- Keep a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl. Pour the juice into the strainer. Press with the back of a spoon to get as much juice as possible. Discard the pulp.
- If using seedless watermelon and okay with some pulp, you can skip this process.
- Add black salt and mix well. Adding black salt is optional, but it gives a delicious flavor to this juice.
- Pour the juice into glasses and serve. You can also refrigerate it for a few hours if the watermelon was not chilled earlier. Adding a few ice cubes to the juice before serving is also recommended.
- Add the watermelon pieces to the spout of the slow juicer and process the juice.
- Add black salt or lime juice to the juice and stir well.
- Serve over ice.
Notes
- Refrigerate the juice before serving for a colder refreshment.
- Experiment with adding mint leaves for an enhanced flavor.
