Summer has slowly started to set in here in Pune. One of the best things that happen in summer are watermelons. I love them. Not only they are low calorie, they fill you up and quench the thirst. I make sure that i indulge in melons throughout summer. They help you cool down the summer heat. Despite being mainly water and sugar, watermelons are actually a very good source of vitamin C, (which provides protection against immune system deficiencies) and vitamin A (which promotes good eyesight). Since they have high content of water, they make refreshing drink. Now to make it more refreshing i added few mint leaves. Mint like melon not only cools body but also a very good cleanser for blood. So here is the recipe, simple n easy... Happy cooking...
Ingredients:
Watermelon - 1/2 medium sized
Fresh mint leaves - 6 - 8
Black salt - 1/2 tsp
Sugar (optional) - 2 tbsp heaped
Method:
Peel and slice watermelon into medium sized chunks. Place the chunks along with mint leaves in a blender and blend it into fine juice.
Sieve the juice for a fine texture. Add black salt and sugar, mix well. Serve immediately, if you wish, you can serve chilled. I prefer at room temperature.
