Notes

Watermelon: Ensure that you use a ripe and sweet watermelon to make the juice. Cut it in the way described above in the step-by-step guide or whichever method you know or prefer.
Watermelon Juice Combinations: Add other citrus fruits like – lime, pomelo, lemon. For floral flavors, include rosewater, orange blossom water, hibiscus tea or gulkand (Indian rose preserve). For herbal flavors add – mint, basil, cilantro, tarragon. For a kick of spice – add fresh ginger root, ground cumin or cinnamon.
Make ahead: While it is best to drink immediately after blending, watermelon juice can keep in the fridge for a few hours. You can also take any leftovers to freeze into popsicles or ice cubes for a refreshing treat.
