Description
Homemade is always better. Especially when it comes to juice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 watermelon, approximately 4 pounds
- 1 tsp coconut or grapeseed oil
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme, lemon thyme, or fresh mint
- Fresh blueberries, strawberries, raspberries frozen into ice cubes
Instructions
- A few hours in advance, put a berry or two in each chamber of two ice cube trays. Add distilled water for very clear ice cubes. Put in freezer.
- With a knife, removed the green rind and white pith of the watermelon. Cut into cubes.
- Put 1 tsp coconut oil and half of the watermelon cubes into a non-stick saucepan. Cook until the fruit turns dark red. Stir constantly so as not to brown the fruit. Let cool.
- In a blender, mix cooked and raw watermelon until smooth, with the juice of half a lemon. Taste and add more if you want more acidity. If the juice is too thick, add a bit of water.
- Put the blended juice in a container with fresh herbs. Refrigerate.
- Serve over berry ice cubes.
- If desired, spike lightly with gin and a splash of seltzer.
