Watermelon juice with a twist

Watermelon juice with a twist 

Watermelon fruits are available in plenty during summers and fresh juice at home is always refreshing. To make the juice taste different from regular watermelon juice I have added KALA Khatta and mint. Do try this juice. Mint leaves and godhoraj rind gives a very refreshing taste.

2-Sugar- 1 cup or upon personal preference. 

3-Mint leaves-5

Strainer needed to strain

Grater to grate the lemon rind

Method

• First cut the watermelon into cubes. Put it in the jar with the seeds. 
• Now add sugar, mint leaves, godhoraj rind, KALA Katta and churn it in normal speed. 
• Now strain it with a strainer to remove the fibre and seeds in a bowl. 

Now pour the juice in a glass and add ice cubes and garnish with mint leaves and KALA Khatta.
