Equipment
Ingredients
- 800 g watermelon rind removed and roughly chopped
- 300 g strawberries hulled
- Juice of 1 lime
- 250 ml chilled water
- Handful of fresh mint leaves optional
Instructions
- Add the watermelon, strawberries, lime juice, chilled water and mint (if using) to a high-speed blender.
- Blend for 1–2 minutes until completely smooth.
- Taste and add a little more lime juice if you'd like a sharper flavour.
- For a smoother juice, strain through a fine sieve into a large jug. This step is optional.
- Pour the juice into four sterilised 250ml bottles or use food safe plastic bottles, seal and refrigerate until chilled.
- Shake well before serving, as the juice will naturally separate.
- Tips: Chill the fruit before blending for an extra refreshing drink.
- Freeze leftover juice into ice lolly moulds or ice cube trays for smoothies.
- Add a few fresh basil leaves instead of mint for a delicious twist.
- This recipe contains no added sugar—the natural sweetness comes from the fruit.
- Storage: Store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Shake well before drinking. Not suitable for freezing once bottled.
