All you need to have is a juicer and some mint leaves. If you want you can strain it and add some rock salt to it. Tastes great. You can see a lot of vendors selling watermelon juice in various cities of India. Traditionally, there were no colas and soft drinks. Fruit juices and butter milk sold in small earthen cups or 'kulhad' continued to give a relief to travelers. Works better than colas even now. Healthy and tasty too. After all ,our body is a temple, if you want your gut issues resolved, one has to eat and drink healthier. Ensure the fruit is cut fresh in front of you, while having it outside. This saves you from germs. Other ways of having watermelon is in fruit chat, where different fruits are served together with a garnish of rock salt or black salt and some lime.
