watermelon juice recipe – a cooling drink recipe for the summers. watermelon is a thirst and heat reducer.
apart from this, watermelon is rich in anti-oxidants, good source of potassium and are good for cardiovascular diseases, colon cancer and diabetes. we usually have watermelons chopped with a sprinkling of chaat masala and black salt. sometimes i make watermelon juice and its damn easy to make.
the only cumbersome part of making the watermelon juice is removing the seeds. but i still managed these quickly as the watermelon had very less seeds. thank god for small mercies 🙂
for sweetening the watermelon juice i have added rose petal preserve/gulkand. adding the gulkand or sugar is optional. a double cooler drink with both watermelon and rose being natural coolants.

It’s a time of ramdan… And I made this watermelon juice for iftaar… And my family members lived it.
Thanks very much ???
welcome sadiya and nice to know 🙂
Interesting using chaat masala. I normally include either cucumber or mint into my watermelon juice. Will have to try the other combos. Does the rose petal jam make it that much sweeter?
Joana add little rose petal jam if the watermelon is too sweet and add more if it’s not very sweet. Hope this help’s you thanks.
I really enjoy plain watermelon juice without any sugar in it. Sometimes with a pinch of black salt and pepper. I’ve never tried it with gulkand and chat masala before though. Sounds yummy!
I love water melon juice. So refreshing! Never added gulkand to it. Sounds like an interesting combination. Will have to try it.
