Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups ripe watermelon chunks seedless or with seeds removed
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon honey optional, for slight sweetness

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Fine Mesh Sieve

Method
 

  1. Prepare watermelon by cutting into chunks, removing any seeds if necessary, and measuring 4 cups into a bowl.
    4 cups ripe watermelon chunks
  2. Add the watermelon chunks to a blender along with lime juice and honey.
    4 cups ripe watermelon chunks, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon honey
  3. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and no chunks remain, about 30 seconds. The juice should be vibrant and slightly frothy.
  4. Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher, using the back of a spoon to gently press the liquid through while trapping pulp and seeds.
  5. Once strained, transfer the watermelon juice to a serving glass. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving.
  6. Serve the watermelon water cold, optionally garnished with a small wedge of lime or a sprig of mint for added aroma and visual appeal.

Notes

For a more concentrated flavor, reduce the watermelon to concentrate or add a splash of sparkling water before serving.
