[Edit]Blended Watermelon Juice

1. Gather your ingredients. You will need:
   
   
   • 1 seedless watermelon
   • Powdered sugar or honey to taste
   • Cold water and ice cubes
2. Place your watermelon on a cutting board. Peel the watermelon and slice it into 1" (2.5 cm) chunks using a sharp knife.
   
   
3. Place the watermelon chunks into a bowl, into a rubber container or onto a plate. Use a fork instead of using your hands to prevent messiness.
   
   
4. Place the watermelon in a blender. Add powdered sugar or honey, if desired.
   
   
   • Blend your watermelon chunks and sweetener and check the consistency.
   • Add water for thinner juice and add ice cubes for thicker juice.
5. Blend well until the juice is smooth. Pour the juice over ice cubes in a tall glass. You can strain the juice, if you wish, to remove the pulp.

1. Gather your ingredients. You will need:
   
   
   • 7 sprigs of mint
   • Juice of 1 1/2 lemons
   • 1 tablespoon of sugar

3. Blend the chunks, mint, and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth.

6. Continue simmering the juice. Taste it frequently to see how the flavors are developing. When the juice is ready, remove it from the heat and let it cool.

Most of the nutrients in a watermelon are found in the rind. Therefore, it's good nutritional sense to enjoy this part too!

2. Peel a seedless watermelon.
   
   
3. Separate the rind from the flesh of the watermelon. Chop it up.

[Edit]Tips

• Always use a ripe watermelon for juicing. If you like sweetness, select a sweeter variety of watermelon, such as sugar baby.
• Fresh mint makes a vibrant addition to watermelon juice. Add a few clean mint leaves to the juice as it is blending.
• If you can't find a seedless watermelon, cut a regular watermelon into quarters. Find the seed line and cut along the line with a paring knife. Remove the piece that you cut and use a fork to scrape out any remaining seeds that are still attached to the watermelon.
• Leave the white rind intact; it contains more vitamins and nutrients than the red flesh. ^[1]

[Edit]Warnings

• Wear an apron over your clothing when cutting watermelon and pomegranates. Pomegranates in particular can leave stubborn stains.
