Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups watermelon chunks seedless or de-seeded, roughly chopped
  • 1 pinch salt optional, enhances flavor

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Fine mesh strainer or sieve

Method
 

  1. Use a sharp knife and cutting board to cut fresh watermelon into roughly 1-inch chunks. Measure out four cups of the chunks and transfer them into a blender.
  2. Add a pinch of salt to the blender to enhance the juice's flavor. Secure the lid tightly.
  3. Blend the watermelon on high speed for 30-45 seconds until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy, with no large chunks remaining. You should see a vibrant pink liquid with a pulpy texture.
  4. Place a fine mesh strainer or sieve over a large bowl. Pour the blended watermelon through the strainer, using a spatula or back of a spoon to press and extract as much juice as possible. Discard the pulp or save for other uses.
  5. Transfer the strained watermelon juice into glasses. Serve immediately over ice for a chilled, refreshing beverage with a slightly pulpy appearance and a fragrant watermelon aroma.
