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.
