Watermelon juice

Ingredients

500 g ripe watermelon pieces
small handful of mint leaves
1 tbsp sugar (optional, to taste)
100 ml water (or coconut water)

Method

Blend all ingredients to a smooth consistency, pass through a fine-meshed sieve. Serve chilled (or with ice).

Variations

For a naughty version of this refreshing drink, add a shot of white rum or brandy. The liquid mixture (with or without alcohol) can also be made into a jelly with ordinary gelatin (takes several hours of refrigeration to set). Omit the sugar but add a scoop of vanilla ice cream before blending.
