Watermelon Milk Juice (Xigua Niu Nai):

• 1/4 of a 12-13 pound seedless watermelon (about 3 lb. seedless watermelon chunks)
• 2 c. milk
• 1-2 T. sugar (optional)

Watermelon Juice (Xigua Zhi):

• 1/4 of a 12-13 pound seedless watermelon (about 3 lb. seedless watermelon chunks)
• 2 c. filtered water
• 1-2 T. sugar (optional)

1.  It is best to use a seedless watermelon for this drink, as you won’t have to waste the time picking out the black seeds.  Cut your watermelon in half, then cut the halves into quarters.

2.  Using a sharp knife, cut the rind off a watermelon quarter, and cut the fruit into large chunks.  For one batch, you should have about 3 lb. of watermelon chunks.

3.  Put the watermelon chunks and the milk (or water if you are making Watermelon Juice instead of Watermelon Milk) into the blender.  If your watermelon is very sweet, omit the sugar.  If your watermelon is not sweet enough, you can add the sugar.

4.  Blend the watermelon mixture for 15-30 seconds until liquefied.  (The photo below shows the watermelon and milk blending – you will have a similar pink-ish color to your final milk juice).

5.  Strain the mixture through a large sieve.  (This is to strain out the excess bubbles and foam.  If you like the foam and watermelon pulp, you don’t have to strain.)  (This photo below shows Watermelon Juice straining – made with water instead of milk – and you can see that the color is more red, instead of the pinkish color of the Watermelon Milk).

 

6.  Store your juice in the refrigerator and serve chilled over ice.  (In the photo below, the glass in the front has strained Watermelon Milk, the glass to the back left has un-strained Watermelon Milk.  I think it tastes better (and looks better) strained – the foam isn’t that great tasting – but you can serve it either way depending on your preference.)  Store in a covered pitcher in the refrigerator for up to two days.  One batch should make about 4-5 servings.

 

Приятного аппетита!
