Watermelon Juice and Watermelon Water

Watermelon Juice and Watermelon Water

Watermelon Juice and Watermelon Water

Besides drinking the tasty juice of watermelons straight and using it to make drinks, watermelon vinaigrette, watermelon popsicles and sorbet, I add it to water to give it a fruity essence.

Ingredients
  

  • Watermelon

Instructions
 

  • To make watermelon juice, add watermelon chunks to an upright blender, purée until liquefied and then strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove all solids. (Compost the pulp.)
    Every 3 pounds of watermelon (before the rind is removed) usually yields between 3½ to 4 cups of juice, after straining.
    For watermelon water, use 1 part watermelon juice for every 6 parts water.
