Instructions

How to prepare Watermelon, Lemon and Mint Juice

  • Let's prepare the draining and refreshing juice by opening a watermelon, cutting it in half and then slicing one half, leaving the rest. We will use one slice of watermelon per juice. Remove the watermelon peel and the white part, so we will only juice the sweet and red part of the fruit.
  • Remove the seeds from each slice and cut it into cubes to put in the juicer. After juicing the watermelon, squeeze one and a half (preferably organic and well hydrated) lemon. Filter the juice and add it to the watermelon juice. Wash the fresh mint leaves (preferably just picked) and add a couple to each watermelon juice.

Tips

Balance the acidity of the juice according to your taste and needs: add more watermelon if you prefer a sweeter taste or add an extra teaspoon of lemon juice if you like a drink with more acidity. Avoid using sugar to not spoil the benefits that this drink can give in its most genuine and natural form. Do not throw away the lemon peel, you can grate it and use it to make a plumcake, season a cream, or it can be useful to let it dry to use it later for a dessert or to compose scented sachets for the closet.

Conservation

Juices cannot be conservated, they must be drank immediately because the longer it takes the more the ingredients oxidize: prepare the watermelon, lemon and mint juice only as needed.
