Ingredients
3 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
6–8 fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
ÂĽ cup cold water (optional, for consistency)
Ice cubes (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Prep your ingredients.
Cut the watermelon into small cubes and pick fresh mint leaves from their stems. Rinse everything well.
Blend everything together.
In a blender, combine watermelon, mint leaves, lemon juice, and cold water. Blend on high for 30–45 seconds, or until smooth.
Optional: Strain for a smoother texture.
If you prefer a juice without pulp, pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a bowl or pitcher.
Taste and tweak.
Want more tang? Add a splash more lemon juice. Need more chill? Toss in some ice cubes.
Serve immediately.
Pour the juice into a glass over ice and garnish with a mint sprig or a thin watermelon wedge for a stylish finish.
Notes
Add ginger: A small piece of fresh ginger adds a spicy kick and boosts detox benefits.
Make it a slushy: Freeze watermelon cubes first for a frosty summer slush.
Berries welcome: Toss in a handful of strawberries or raspberries for added antioxidants and a deeper flavor.
No blender? Use a food processor or even muddle the ingredients by hand—just strain well afterward.
Storage: Store in the fridge for up to 48 hours, but it’s best enjoyed fresh.
