[Edit]Steps
[Edit]Blended Watermelon Juice
- Gather your ingredients. You will need:
- 1 seedless watermelon
- Powdered sugar or honey to taste
- Cold water and ice cubes
- Place your watermelon on a cutting board. Peel the watermelon and slice it into 1" (2.5 cm) chunks using a sharp knife.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
[Edit]Heated Lemon Watermelon Juice
- Gather your ingredients. You will need:
- 7 sprigs of mint
- Juice of 1 1/2 lemons
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 2 small seedless watermelons
- Cut the rinds off the watermelons. Slice the flesh into 1" (2.5 cm) chunks.
- Blend the chunks, mint, and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the watermelon mixture through a sieve and into a saucepan. Press down on the watermelon using a wooden spoon to release the most juice. Mix the juice with sugar.
- Heat your saucepan over a medium-low setting. Bring the juice to a simmer, but don't allow it to boil.
- 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.
- Pour the juice into a container and chill it. Serve the chilled juice in a tall glass over ice. Garnish the juice with a mint leaf.
[Edit]Pomegranate and Watermelon Juice
- Gather your ingredients. For two people, you will need:
- 1 1-1/4 lb. (625 g) seedless watermelon
- 2 pomegranates
- 7 oz. (200 g) fresh raspberries
- Ice cubes
- Peel your watermelon and cut it into chunks. Remove the seeds from your pomegranate, setting a few seeds aside for garnish.
- Place the watermelon flesh into a juicer or blender. Add the pomegranate seeds and the raspberries, and blend the mixture until it is smooth.
- Pour the juice into a tall glass over ice cubes. Float some pomegranate seeds and raspberries on top of the juice for garnish.
[Edit]Watermelon Rind Juice
Most of the nutrients in a watermelon are found in the rind. Therefore, it's good nutritional sense to enjoy this part too!
- Wash the watermelon well. Remove dirt or blemishes.
- Peel a seedless watermelon.
- Separate the rind from the flesh of the watermelon. Chop it up.
- Put the chopped pieces of watermelon rind into the blender. Blend until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Add water if needed.
- Serve and enjoy!
[Edit]Watermelon 7Up Juice

- Half of medium Watermelon
- 3 Teaspoon sugar
- A pinch of salt ( if you like.)
- 1 Glass of 7Up
- 1 tablespoon lemon Juice
- Ice cubes
- Peel the watermelon and slice it into small chunks using a knife.
- Put the watermelon in juicer.
- Add sugar, salt and lemon juice.

[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.
