Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups watermelon flesh, cubed seedless or de-seeded for smooth blending
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup optional, for sweetness
  • 1 cup ice cubes for chilling and texture

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Chef's knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Bowl
  • Serving glasses

Method
 

  1. Place the cubed watermelon in the blender jug, ensuring it's evenly distributed for smooth blending.
  2. Add the chopped mint leaves, sea salt, honey (if using), and ice cubes to the blender.
  3. Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed for about 30-45 seconds until the mixture is bright, uniformly icy, and slightly frothy with no visible chunks.
  4. Check the texture; the mixture should be cold, smooth, and with a slightly chunky pulp consistency. Pour into serving glasses immediately.
  5. Garnish with additional mint leaves or small watermelon wedges as desired and serve immediately for the best icy, refreshing experience.

Notes

Adjust the sweetness and saltiness to taste. You can also add a splash of lime for extra brightness.
