Instructions
Prepare the Watermelon:

Notes
Tips
- Choose a Ripe Watermelon: Ensure your watermelon is ripe for the sweetest juice. Look for one with a uniform shape and a creamy yellow spot where it rested on the ground.
- Enhance with Herbs: For a unique twist, add a few basil or mint leaves when blending.
- Make It Fizzy: For a refreshing twist, mix the watermelon juice with sparkling water.
