Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups chopped watermelon seedless, ripest available
  • 1 tablespoon honey optional, for sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon garden soil extract or edible earth essence (optional) for earthy aroma, optional
  • 1 cup water cold

Equipment

  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Blender
  • Measuring Cups

Method
 

  1. Dice the watermelon into small chunks using a sharp knife on a cutting board, ensuring the pieces are evenly sized for smooth blending.
  2. Add the watermelon chunks to the blender along with honey, water, and a few drops of edible earth essence if using. Secure the lid firmly.
  3. Blend the mixture on high speed until completely smooth and thick, about 30-45 seconds. Observe the color becoming vibrant pink and the texture becoming pulpy and uniform.
  4. Pour the smoothie into glasses and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and the texture to thicken slightly.
  5. Remove from the fridge and gently swirl before serving. The smoothie should appear thick, slightly granular, with a bright pink color and a fragrant, earthy aroma.

Notes

For added complexity, incorporate a pinch of sea salt or a splash of lime juice before blending. Experiment with different herbal extracts for unique earthy undertones.
