 There is nothing quite like freshly squeezed watermelon juice to chill and refresh your body while relieving your thirst when the weather is oppressively hot. Here, I'll walk you through three alternative ways to make this recipe for a nutritious, all-natural beverage.

Why Make Your Own Juice;

Even though the majority of us are aware that soft drinks and juices with artificial flavours are bad for our health, many of us nevertheless choose to consume them.

Large groups of cunning marketers have conditioned us by getting our favourite celebrities to promote their products and constantly market to us. "Drinking this beverage will make you cool," they assert. They fail to mention in their advertisements just how harmful these caloric beverages are.

Drinks such as these watermelon juice recipes are healthy for the body and the soul. When I take a sip of this stunning ruby-red beverage, I can't help but smile, and I'll bet you can't either.

Benefits of Watermelon to Health

Watermelon has been associated with a lower incidence of cardiovascular disorders and colon cancer and is high in antioxidants and potassium.I'm at a loss for words if that isn't a superfood!

This delicious fruit, which is naturally sweet and 92% water, is a great alternative to sugar-filled beverages. My watermelon juice recipes don't require any additional sugar because they are already very delicious.

I enjoy consuming fresh watermelon slices with chaat masala and black salt on top. However, there are times when I need something that I can slurp down to satiate my thirst because I'm so thirsty and exhausted from the heat. In those situations, I make this incredibly simple watermelon juice recipe.

Various Watermelon Juices

The best part is that watermelon juice is simple to customise to your preferences and what you have on hand. Here, I include recipes for traditional and basic watermelon juice, as well as alternatives that call for fresh mint and orange juice.

You are welcome to combine lemon, lime, or other citrus fruits. Add a tiny bit of rose water, orange blossom water, or gulkand (rose preserve) if you want floral flavours.

Add fresh herbs like mint, basil, cilantro, or tarragon for a beautiful flavour. Add ginger, ground cumin, or cinnamon for a spicy kick.

How to Select a Quality Watermelon

One of life's greatest pleasures is eating fresh summer fruit. It feels as though nature has bestowed the greatest gift when something is in season and perfectly ripe. This applies to watermelon as well.

The fruit should first be substantial for its size. This points to one of the distinguishing characteristics of a good watermelon: juiciness.

Check the field mark next. This is where the watermelon sat as it grew, resting on the ground. If the field mark is white, the watermelon is young; a ripe watermelon should be yellowish.

Now examine the remaining skin. It ought to have a drab appearance, which shows that it has had time to solidify. Another ideal place to inspect is the stem; it ought to be dried out and discoloured like a pumpkin's stem. A stem that is still green indicates that it is too young.

Pick a seedless watermelon if you want to skip the seeding process! Contrary to popular belief, watermelons without seeds can be just as tasty as those with seeds.

Wash the watermelon and pat it dry. Carefully divide the circular into two equal halves with a chef's knife.

To create two wedges, now cut each of the pieces in half once more.NOTE: You might need to cut your watermelon three or four times if it is enormous.

Cut away the portion that contains seeds.

Once more using a sharp knife, carefully start to cut just below the area where the seeds are visible. Cut the pink flesh with the knife so that it is about halfway through.

Continue cutting while moving the knife to the central axis.

Next, make a corresponding cut on the opposite side, right below the area where the seeds are visible. Your goal is to cut through nearly half of the pink portion such that your cut from one side will roughly meet up with it.

Cut the wedge's thinnest section last, once again directly beneath the seed line.

Cut and split the newly formed, smaller wedge.

If there are any seeds on the watermelon wedge, remove them.

Delete the seeds

Cut the smaller wedge into cubes after removing the black seeds. The white seeds can be kept because they blend readily while producing juice.

Cut the watermelon's pink flesh away from the rind.

TIP: Hold off on composting your watermelon rind. You can choose between two options:

The rind can be given a flavour boost by steeping it for about an hour in cool water. To accomplish this, trim the rind into manageable pieces and add it to a pitcher of cool water. Place in the fridge for up to 24 hours. After that, pour into glasses and serve.

Serve right away.
