Notes
Recipe Notes -
- The watermelon I picked weighed 1 & 1/2 kilos and I have used half of it for the recipe. They were roughly chopped into big chunks (approx. 4 cups)
- You can add some water while blending the juice in case you find it too thick.
- This is a sugar free juice and uses only salt to elevate the taste. It can be consumed during fasting as we are using black salt or kala namak.
- If for some reason the watermelon is not sweet, add some sugar, honey, agave or maple syrup.
- No ice cubes or chilled water is added while blending the juice. Ice Cubes can be added just before serving else it dilutes the fruit juice.
- Adding Black Salt or Kala Namak is optional. You can use kosher salt or regular sea salt. Kala Namak has a great taste and in India, we love sprinkling them on freshly cut fruits as well.
- I recommend consuming all fresh fruit juices, immediately.
However, you can refrigerate the juice and use within 24 - 48 hours. - I freeze fresh watermelon juice to make slushies during summers. Freezing increases shelf life and doesn't affect taste.
