Rosemary Watermelon Juice.
As we head into summer and backyard BBQ’s, there’s a good chance we’ll find ourselves with half a watermelon taking up way too much space in the Frigidaire. I did. Water-melon. Water. Flavored water. Do you see where I’m headed…
I took an average sized watermelon and cut half of it into glorious wedges. Which were enjoyed by all. The other half sat in my fridge for a few days until a decision was made. We’re turning you into juice. The rosemary idea came from Shelby. Her new issue of Vegetarian Times had an article about pairing Watermelon & Rosemary. I was sold.
This juice is super easy to make. Cut the remaining half of a watermelon into chunks and blend until smooth. Strain through a medium mesh sieve to remove some of the pulp. Pour into a pitcher, add a sprig of fresh rosemary and allow to hang out in the fridge for a couple hours. Delicious and so refreshing.
I infused the Watermelon Rosemary Juice with strawberries and kiwi (think sangria) to add another flavor dimension and took a jug full to the office to {Share the Love}. They loved it. I will never look at leftover watermelon as a burden again. Just juice it up.
- ½ a watermelon, cubed (about 8 cups of large cubes)
- 1 fresh rosemary sprig
- 6 strawberries, hulled and quartered, optional
- 2 kiwi fruit, peeled and sliced, optional
- Working in batches, blend the watermelon cubes until pureed. Pour liquid through a medium mesh strainer to remove some of the pulp.
- Pour the juice over the rosemary sprig and refrigerate for several hours.
- Add the strawberries and kiwi fruit for an additional flavor boost.
- Yields about 2 quarts of juice.
