Water Melon Juice (Summer Drink)

Ingredients

• 1 small sweet, organic watermelon (a 6 pounder will do)
• 1 small lime, juiced

Instructions

1. Slice the watermelon in half. Assuming your watermelon isn't seedless, slice the halves into smaller strips and use a small spoon to scoop out the seeds. Discard the seeds, and scoop chunks of watermelon from the rind into the blender. If the watermelon is seedless, use a big spoon to scoop chunks of watermelon flesh into the blender. Discard the rind.
2. Blend the watermelon until it is totally pulverized. This shouldn't take more than a minute. Squeeze the juice of one small lime into the blender and blend for a few seconds. Pour the watermelon juice into a pitcher or pour directly into glasses, over ice.

Notes

• Your juice will only be as good as your watermelon, so find a good one at a farmer's market or health store.
• My 6.5 pound watermelon yielded about 5 cups of juice.
• The juice will separate over time, just stir it with a spoon to recombine.
  
• You might also like my melon cocktails—try the watermelon cucumber cooler or cantaloupe fiesta cocktail.
