Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups ripe watermelon chunks seeded but de-seeded if necessary
  • 0.5 cup cold water adjust to desired consistency

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Large bowl

Method
 

  1. Prepare the watermelon by cutting it into manageable chunks on a cutting board using a sharp knife; remove seeds if desired.
  2. Add the watermelon chunks into a blender, then pour in the cold water.
  3. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. You should see a uniform, vibrant pink liquid with no large chunks remaining.
  4. Place a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a large bowl and pour the blended mixture through it, using a spatula or spoon to press the liquid through and separate the pulp from the juice.
  5. Once strained, transfer the clear, pink juice to serving glasses. Optionally, refrigerate for a few minutes to chill further before serving cold.
  6. Serve the watermelon juice immediately, observing its transparent appearance, crisp aroma, and refreshing taste.
