Serving: 4

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: NIL



Ingredients:
6 C Watermelon seedless, diced
1/4 tsp Jalapeno, finely chopped
1 Tbsp Sugar/Honey/Xylitol (only if the watermelon is not sweet)
1 Tbsp Mint/Cilantro, finely chopped
A pinch of salt
Few dashes of Black pepper pwd
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Ice 

Directions:

1.  Blend everything together until smooth, along with crushed ice, in your blender, strain it if you desire to remove that extra bulk in your juice..garnish with finely chopped mint / cilantro and jalapeno..

Good Note: This juice is just fantastic , but if even that seems like too much effort on a hot summer day, do what I did for lunch this afternoon. Slice up some watermelon, squeeze a juicy lime over it, and sprinkle it with a mixture of spicy chili powder and kosher salt. My mouth is still happy.
