Watermelon Juice: Boosted with Flavor and Sweetness
The Secret to Enhancing Both ‘Aroma’ and ‘Sweetness’ in Your Watermelon Juice
Watermelon is the quintessential summer fruit! Instead of discarding the leftover bits when cutting watermelon, we freeze them to make delicious watermelon juice. Here’s a secret trick to elevate the ‘aroma’ and ‘sweetness’ of your watermelon juice, making it taste even better!
Ingredients
- 6-7 frozen watermelon pieces
- A small piece of fresh ginger
- A pinch of salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your ‘frozen watermelon’. We enjoy the sweet parts of the watermelon fresh and then freeze the leftover scraps to make juice later! Freezing the watermelon naturally intensifies its sweetness.
Step 2
Now, we’ll blend it in the mixer as usual. However, there’s a secret method to upgrade both the aroma and sweetness of your watermelon juice, making it extraordinary.
Step 3
The secret ingredient for enhancing the ‘aroma’ is ‘ginger’! It might sound a bit unusual to add ginger to watermelon juice, but a small amount truly boosts its flavor profile. Use just a tiny bit, enough for a subtle hint of ginger, so it doesn’t overpower the watermelon.
Step 4
The secret to boosting the ‘sweetness’ is ‘salt’! Did you know that salt, which is inherently salty, can actually enhance sweetness? This works on our taste buds. Just like rinsing strawberries with salt can make them taste sweeter, a tiny pinch of salt here will make the watermelon taste even sweeter. Use only a very small amount.
Step 5
Now, simply blend everything in the mixer! Take a sip. If the ginger flavor is too pronounced for your liking, add more frozen watermelon and blend again. If you can’t taste the ginger at all, add a tiny bit more ginger. Adjusting to your preference is key!
Step 6
Your enhanced watermelon juice, with boosted aroma and sweetness from ginger and salt, is now complete!
Step 7
This watermelon juice is wonderfully cool, with a delicate hint of ginger that adds a sophisticated aroma. While plain watermelon juice can sometimes taste a bit light, the ginger adds a pleasing depth and makes it taste richer and much more delicious. Even if the watermelon wasn’t very sweet to begin with, the salt made it taste sweet without needing any syrup! Next time you make watermelon juice, try adding ginger and salt to experience this enhanced flavor and sweetness. You’ll love it!
