Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole Watermelon half-eaten or fresh, roughly chopped

Equipment

  • Large Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Clean Dishcloth or Hands

Method
 

  1. Using a large knife on a cutting board, cut the watermelon into manageable chunks for easier handling.
  2. Place a clean dishcloth or use your hands to firmly squeeze each watermelon piece over a large bowl, extracting as much juice as possible while allowing pulp and seeds to pass through.
  3. Press down and twist slightly to maximize juice extraction, watching the vibrant pink liquid flow into the bowl; the pulp will remain behind.
  4. Repeat the squeezing process with all watermelon chunks until the bowl is filled with a pulpy, pink liquid containing bits of pulp and seeds.
  5. Pour the freshly squeezed juice into glasses, optionally stirring gently to distribute pulp evenly, and serve immediately for a bright, rustic drink.

Notes

For an even pulpy texture, do not strain the juice. Serve immediately for optimal freshness.
