We served a variation of this at one of our recent raw foods potluck, but I decided to kick it up a notch.
Typically we get an organic watermelon, obliterate the inside of it, and then juice the rind. Last year, we grew our own watermelons, and the juice was this fantastic, light pink color. This year, we did a few things differently with our garden, and didn't plant watermelons, and it's tricky to find organic watermelons in these parts. We had to make due with a conventional one, and therefore opted not to juice the rind.
If you have an organic one, definitely juice the rind and proceed with the recipe. If you don't have an organic watermelon, ditch the rind and just juice the middle.
Watermelon is very detoxifying and although it is high in sugar, for a limited period of time in the summer, we do indulge. If you add in the cayenne, it will be a natural fat burner (thermogenic food) and the lime will also add to alkanalize the juice even more.
Enough watermelon to produce two glasses of juice (about 4-5 cups)
1 lime, juiced
pinch of cayenne
Juice the watermelon and divide into two glasses. Juice the lime and add to the glasses, sharing equal quantities. Add the cayenne to each glass, stir and drink up!
