INGREDIENTS
Water Melon
Sugar or Honey
Lemon Juice
Mint Leaves
Black Salt/ Chat masala/ Pani puri masala
Cold Water
Method
Take a ripe watermelon And cut it in pieces, Taking all the seeds out..
In a blender or a food processor, Blend the watermelon to a puree.
Put a mash strainer over the bowl, And strain the watermelon puree through it so that no chunks or pieces remain.Discard the pulp.
Water melon Juice Is ready
Now transfer the watermelon juice to a tray and keep it in the freezer to set for 2-3 hours.You can skip this step and simply use watermelon juice for the lemonade but I like using water melon ice cubes so I freeze it to get cubes.And it is quite handy as well.Whenever I have to make lemonade these watermelon cubes are so handy and lemonade is ready in minutes.
Take juice of 3-4 lemons in a bowl
Add 1-2 Teaspoon Sugar.You can use sugarfree or honey if you are health conscious like me and would like to drink this juice for losing weight and staying slim as it is a very good weight loss juice as well.
Add 15-20 Mint Leaves and mix all the ingredients well till the sugar gets dissolved.
Take Black salt or any kind of Chat masala and spread it in a plate.I have used Panipuri masala that is used for making pani puri water as it tastes awesome.If you do not have that you can use any kind of fruit masala or chaar masala.Even black Salt would tastes great.
Now first dip the glass in the sugar lemon solution and then move it in the circular motion over the masala so that the masala would stick to the glass.
Take out the Ice Cubes from the freezer when ready.
Put 4-5 pieces of water melon Ice cubes in the glass and 1 piece of normal ice cube . Add the sugar and lemon mix.And fill the glass with chilled water.
Your Watermelon Lemonade is ready to be served.You can also garnish it with mint leaves and lemon slices.
