Easy Homemade Watermelon Milk for Summer
Try making this cool and delicious watermelon milk using sweet summer watermelon! Everyone will love this drink, so making it for family or friends will earn you points for thoughtfulness. Using a blender makes the process much easier. It’s also perfect for quenching your thirst on a hot day. Let’s make some watermelon milk together!
Ingredients- About 1/3 cup (paper cup measure) ripe watermelon, seeded and cut small
- 1/2 mL (or 1/2 cup) unsweetened milk
- 1/2 Tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare a clean glass. Any glass will do, but a clear one will showcase the lovely pink color of the watermelon.
Step 2
Cut the seeded watermelon into small pieces (about 1-2 cm).
Step 3
Place the cut watermelon pieces into the glass. If you have a blender or mixer, add the watermelon directly to it and blend for a much smoother and easier result. If you don’t have a blender, use a spoon to mash the watermelon. Mash it until it’s smooth and there are no large chunks, as this will help it mix better with the milk.
Step 4
Now, prepare the milk. It’s best to use unsweetened milk to let the sweet watermelon flavor shine through.
Step 5
Pour the prepared unsweetened milk over the mashed watermelon in the glass. This will help the watermelon juice and pieces mix well with the milk.
Step 6
Now, shake vigorously to combine everything! You can shake it in a container with a lid, or cover the glass with plastic wrap and shake. Alternatively, you can stir it quickly with a chopstick or other utensil.
Step 7
Once the milk and watermelon are somewhat combined, remove any large chunks of watermelon from the glass with a spoon. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can skip this step or blend it very finely in the blender.
Step 8
If you want to add sweetness, prepare your sugar. If you prefer it less sweet, you can omit it or use honey or other sweeteners instead.
Step 9
Add about 1/2 tablespoon of the prepared sugar. Adjust the amount to your preference after tasting.
Step 10
Add the prepared sugar to the watermelon milk.
Step 11
Stir gently again until the sugar dissolves completely. Your delicious watermelon milk is now ready! Enjoy it chilled. The sweet and refreshing taste will fill your mouth and help you forget the summer heat. Store any leftover watermelon milk in the refrigerator to enjoy it even cooler.
