Watermelon is my current obsession; here are three ways to enjoy this delicious fruit. Make sure to buy melons that are heavy and fragrant - if your watermelon isn't perfectly ripe you may need to think about adding some extra sweetness in the form of honey or agave.
Ingredients
For watermelon + lime juice
½ medium watermelon
Juice from 1 large or 2 small limes
For watermelon, cucumber + mint juice
½ medium watermelon
½ large cucumber
10 mint leaves
For watermelon ice lollies
½ medium watermelon
Instructions
For watermelon + lime juice
Remove the rind from the watermelon and cut into rough chunks. Blitz in a blender along with the lime juice, until smooth. Divide between glasses or strain through a fine mesh sieve for more of a clear juice.
For watermelon, cucumber + mint juice
Remove the rind from the watermelon and cucumber and cut into rough chunks. Blitz in a blender along with the mint leaves until smooth. Divide between glasses or strain, as above.
For watermelon ice lollies
Cut your half watermelon lengthways into three equal slices. Cut each slice into about 6 triangles. Use a sharp knife to make a small insertion into the rind of each triangle and insert a wooden lolly stick. Freeze for 3 - 5 hours, until frozen.
Notes
So simple, they can hardly be called recipes. But delicious, refreshing and well worth making nonetheless!
