An instant thirst-quencher, water melon with its high moisture content can hydrate us and is a good source of vitamin A, C and other nutrients.
Ingredients:
Watermelon diced into cubes – 2 cups
Ginger – 1/4 inch piece
Pepper powder – 1/4 tsp
Salt – a pinch
Lime juice – 1/4 tsp
Crushed mint leaves – 4 or 5 (optional)
Water – 1/2 cup
Preparation:
Cut and de-seed the watermelon. Add the cubed watermelon alongwith the other ingredients (except mint leaves) in a blender and blitz well. Strain it through a sieve (I prefer not to strain it) and serve with crushed ice. Mix the crushed mint leaves into the juice.
Save some juice and pour it into popsicle moulds or ice cream trays and freeze, to enjoy it later.
