    ❤️About This Recipe

    No juicer required: Yes, this juice is made using a blender. Watermelon has high water content so you get a juice consistency without adding any water in a blender.

    Make a large batch and it is perfect for parties, small get-to-gather or as a poolside drink.

    Naturally sweet: There is no sugar or other sweeteners added because watermelon itself is a super sweet fruit.

    Taste & Flavor: This is super sweet with a hint of tanginess from lemon juice and chatpata taste from a few spices.

    Quick & Easy: It takes only 10 minutes to make a big batch of this juice and it’s super simple to make.

    🧾Ingredient Notes

    • Watermelon: I recommend using seedless watermelon to make the job easy. Otherwise, you’ll have to pick and discard the seeds before grinding. Those few white seeds are fine.
    • Lemon juice (or lime juice): A must-add ingredient. It adds a nice tart flavor that offsets the sweetness of the fruit.
    • Mint leaves: Use the fresh-looking leaves only and discard the stems. Stems make the juice slightly off-tasting and sometimes bitter.
    • Roasted cumin powder: To make it at home, dry roast the cumin seeds until aromatic and dark in color. Grind into a powder using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
    • Black salt (kala namak): It adds a nice zing to the juice. There is no substitute for this ingredient. If you don’t have it then skip it but you’ll surely miss the flavor.
    • Black pepper powder: It helps in easy digestion. 

    👩‍🍳How To Make Watermelon Mint Juice? 

    1. Take chilled watermelon cubes and mint leaves in a blender.
    2. Squeeze the lemon juice in it.
    3. Add black salt, pepper powder and roasted cumin powder.
    4. Blend it until smooth. Pour into the glass, garnish with mint leaves and serve.

    💭Expert Tips

    • If your fruit is not sweet enough then you can add your choice of sweetener e.g. sugar, honey, maple syrup, etc.
    • I recommend chopping watermelon ahead of time and chill in the fridge before making juice, so you don’t have to add ice.
    • This is the kind of juice that separates over time and spices settle at the bottom. So if serving it later on then you need to stir it to mix the juice first and then pour.
    • If you do not like pulpy juice then you can strain this juice. Strained juice will have a mild flavor of mint and spices.

    Storing Watermelon Mint Juice

    • Because this is fresh fruit juice, it should be consumed within a day.
    • But just in case you need to store it then store it in an airtight dark-colored glass container to minimize the light exposure and keep it in the refrigerator. It stays good for 2-3 days but it loses its nutritional value and taste as it sits longer in the fridge.
