5 Minute Watermelon Mint Juice( No Added Sugar)
Watermelon mint juice is a refreshing and re-hydrating drink, especially on hot summer days. It is rich in fibre, essential vitamins and minerals, very healthy and delicious in taste.
Ingredients
- 1 kg watermelon
- 2 tbsp mint leaves
- ¼ tsp black salt or as per your taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper powder
- 1&1/2 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Wash the watermelon and cut it from the centre and then make pieces out of it. Take out the rind and make small size pieces. We will get around 500-600 gm from 1 kg watermelon.
- Try to remove seeds as much as possible. Put watermelon pieces in the refrigerator for about 3-4 hours so that it gets nicely chilled. Sometimes, if we forget to refrigerate, in that case, we can add some ice to the juice or chill the ready juice later on.
- Once they get chilled, transfer them to a blender. Don’t worry about the seeds, if there is any. Blend it for just 15-20 seconds. Now add mint leaves and again blend it for 10-20 seconds.
- Strain the juice in a bowl.
- Add salt, black pepper powder and lemon juice. Mix it well.
- Now add ice cubes to a glass jug and transfer juice in it. Stir it well.
- Pour in the glasses, garnish with mint leaves and served cold. ENJOY!
Notes
1. Choose juicy and ripe watermelon for making juice.
2. Cut into smaller pieces and let them chill in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours or freeze it for 30 minutes if you are in hurry. In this way, you don't need to chill the juice or adding any ice. You can consume it immediately.
3. Sometimes watermelon is not sweet enough then you can add other sweeteners like sugar, agave, or maple syrup.
4. You can also add some fruits like orange and strawberry to enhance its taste.
