Ingredients
Juice Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds Watermelon (1.2 kilogram)
- 2 Medium Beets
- 1 Lemon (optional, for squeezing)
Garnish
- Fresh Mint Leaves (optional)
- Thin Watermelon Wedges (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Wash the watermelon and beets thoroughly to remove any dirt. Peel the beets completely to ensure smooth juicing. Remove the hard outer skin of the watermelon, leaving the juicy flesh for juicing.
- Juicing Process: Process the watermelon flesh and peeled beets through a juicer. Ensure all the liquid is extracted for maximum flavor and nutrients.
- Add Lemon Juice: Taste the juice and, if desired, add some freshly squeezed lemon juice to enhance the brightness and add a slight tanginess.
- Garnish and Serve: Pour the juice into glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and thin watermelon wedges if desired. Serve immediately for optimal freshness and nutrient retention, or store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Notes
- Use ripe watermelon for the sweetest juice.
- Beets add earthy flavor and vibrant color; peel them well to avoid bitterness.
- Lemon juice is optional but adds a nice tang and helps preserve the juice.
- Drink juice fresh to get the most nutrients and prevent oxidation.
- Store leftover juice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day.
