  • Prep time (Blended): 5-10 minutes
  • Cook time (blending): 5
  • Total time: 10-15 minutes

Steps

Blended watermelon juice

  1. Gather your ingredients. You will need:
    • 1 seedless watermelon
    • Powdered sugar or honey to taste
    • Cold water and ice cubes
  2. Place your watermelon on a cutting board. Peel the watermelon and slice it into 1" (2.5 cm) chunks using a sharp knife.
  3. Place the watermelon chunks into a bowl, into a rubber container or onto a plate. Use a fork instead of using your hands to prevent messiness.
  4. Place the watermelon in a blender. Add powdered sugar or honey, if desired.
    • Blend your watermelon chunks and sweetener and check the consistency.
    • Add water for thinner juice and add ice cubes for thicker juice.
  5. Blend well until the juice is smooth. Pour the juice over ice cubes in a tall glass. You can strain the juice, if you wish, to remove the pulp.

Heated lemon watermelon juice

  1. Gather your ingredients. You will need:
    • 7 sprigs of mint
    • Juice of 1 1/2 lemons
    • 1 tablespoon of sugar
    • 2 small seedless watermelons
  2. Cut the rinds off the watermelons. Slice the flesh into 1" (2.5 cm) chunks.
  3. Blend the chunks, mint, and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Pour the watermelon mixture through a sieve and into a saucepan. Press down on the watermelon using a wooden spoon to release the most juice. Mix the juice with sugar.
  5. Heat your saucepan over a medium-low setting. Bring the juice to a simmer, but don't allow it to boil.
  6. Continue simmering the juice. Taste it frequently to see how the flavors are developing. When the juice is ready, remove it from the heat and let it cool.
  7. Pour the juice into a container and chill it. Serve the chilled juice in a tall glass over ice. Garnish the juice with a mint leaf.

Pomegranate and watermelon juice

  1. Gather your ingredients. For two people, you will need:
    • 1 1-1/4 lb. (625 g) seedless watermelon
    • 2 pomegranates
    • 7 oz. (200 g) fresh raspberries
    • Ice cubes
  2. Peel your watermelon and cut it into chunks. Remove the seeds from your pomegranate, setting a few seeds aside for garnish.
  3. Place the watermelon flesh into a juicer or blender. Add the pomegranate seeds and the raspberries, and blend the mixture until it is smooth.
  4. Pour the juice into a tall glass over ice cubes. Float some pomegranate seeds and raspberries on top of the juice for garnish.

Watermelon rind juice

Most of the nutrients in a watermelon are found in the rind. Therefore, it's good nutritional sense to enjoy this part too!

  1. Wash the watermelon well. Remove dirt or blemishes.
  2. Peel a seedless watermelon.
  3. Separate the rind from the flesh of the watermelon. Chop it up.
  4. Put the chopped pieces of watermelon rind into the blender. Blend until it reaches the desired consistency.
    • Add water if needed.
  5. Serve and enjoy!

Watermelon 7Up Juice

  1. Gather your ingredients. The things you will need are as follows:
    • Half of medium Watermelon
    • 3 Teaspoon sugar
    • A pinch of salt ( if you like.)
    • 1 Glass of 7Up
    • 1 tablespoon lemon Juice
    • Ice cubes
  2. Peel the watermelon and slice it into small chunks using a knife.
  3. Put the watermelon in juicer.
  4. Add sugar, salt and lemon juice.
  5. Strain it into a glass
  6. Serve it with 7Up and ice cube.
  7. Finished.



Tips

  • Always use a ripe watermelon for juicing. If you like sweetness, select a sweeter variety of watermelon, such as sugar baby.
  • Fresh mint makes a vibrant addition to watermelon juice. Add a few clean mint leaves to the juice as it is blending.
  • If you can't find a seedless watermelon, cut a regular watermelon into quarters. Find the seed line and cut along the line with a paring knife. Remove the piece that you cut and use a fork to scrape out any remaining seeds that are still attached to the watermelon.
  • Leave the white rind intact; it contains more vitamins and nutrients than the red flesh. [1]

Warnings

  • Wear an apron over your clothing when cutting watermelon and pomegranates. Pomegranates in particular can leave stubborn stains.
