- Use a fine mesh sieve for the pulp. To separate the pulp from the juice, use a fine mesh sieve to pour through.

Watermelon Juice with Mint FAQ:
How do you choose the best watermelon?
We look for a couple key features when choosing a watermelon. Firstly the weight – watermelon should be fairly heavy in weight for its size. The heavier it is the more juice it has. Secondly, we look for a large yellow spot. Watermelons develop a field spot on the bottom when growing. When it’s a creamy yellow you know its ripe!
Can you make juice without a juicer?
Yes! Our favourite way to make juice at home without a juicer is to use a blender. Simply add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Then using a fine mesh sieve pour the juice through to remove the pulp for a smooth drink.
Can you use juice pulp?
Yes! If you would like to keep the pulp you can store it in the freezer for use in smoothies.
