    Hello All, I hope everyone had a great weekend. Thank you all for watching the video. I wanted to address some questions I have seen in the comment section.
    1) If you don't like adding sugar or water or ice, then don't. Blend the watermelon and have at it.
    2)The reason I like adding water, sugar and ice is because it makes more of the drink, I like it ice cold and I like it sweet.
    3) If you don't see your comment then it was probably rude or just plain mean. Read the about section on my channel if you wonder how I feel about trolls.
    4) This recipe can be as easy or as complicated as you make it. I'm not reinventing the wheel or giving you a groundbreaking watermelon idea.
    With that said, have a good one and see you on the next recipe video. 😁✌

    I never knew how to pick ripe watermelons this is life changing! Lol

    •  6 лет назад +10

      Someone posted that the stripes on the watermelon indicate ripeness, but I've always looked for the yellow bottom where the watermelon sits. I read somewhere that the spot on the bottom goes through different shades and the more yellow sgade is what to look for. I have always had nice sweet watermelons using that method, but then again the stripes were dark green as well. 🤷 So maybe try both methods. 😁👍

    • @angelgomez2430
      @angelgomez2430 5 лет назад +5

      I always see people bang on them like drums and I was told to bang on it and if it sounds hollow like a basketball than it's a good one if not it's not as ripe so I am wanting to check this new method

    • @donnahughes9575

    Another winner! I just finished watching your pineapple water video. Both juices beat the "heck" (babies may be watching) out of store bought juices! I think I will add sparkling water to the recipe.

      Every fresh juice beats the hell out of store bought. For one thing, store bought isn't really juice.
      Jack LaLaine juicers are awesome. Especially if you use cantaloupe.

    • @corkyjmc

    ANOTHER great idea.
    Ever try Fresca ice cubes?
    During the summer I get different flavored sparkling water from Walmart and use them for ice cubes and drinks instead of water. (minimizing sugars too) A ginormous amount of different combinations with different ice cubes in different water etc.
    Everyone please remember, especially on this weekend;

    I was looking for something because my big watermelon won’t fit in the fridge. This is perfect. Some people can’t agree to disagree. I think they got sent to bed without dinner, so now everyone has an opinion. You’re lovely. Your recipes are delicious, and you don’t need 483 people who hate agua frescas because they didn’t grow up with your grandpa or grandma making good things for them. They are bitter, ugly people with no souls or life in them and choose not to have diversity and yumminess in their lives. Loss for them. More for us. Lots of love from New Mexico.

    I only use watermelon usually keeping the pulp (I personally love it) then add ice. I don't use any water which I find only waters it down and takes away the sweetness.
    If I need to serve a large crowd then I use the method in the video and use water and sugar only to make it go further but it's not as good imo.
    Vodka is also good for adult drinks

    I was craving this and my daughter loves watermelon she picked out a pre cut. Reminds me of my mom she would make agua de sandía in the summer when I was little. It was a little tricky because I have a ninja blender and I liked the way my mom would make it, chunky, so the trick was to add some ice and blend slowly. Ahh nostalgia 😋🍉

    I make this every year and freeze it into ice cubes. I pop them out and place the cubes in a ziplock. They are wonderful in diet 7 up or even water.

      victoria munoz Not only do you look for the yellow spot, but you also look for the beige webbing which mean high bee pollination while the vine was flowering which heavily affects the ripe watermelon's sweetness. Also, if the stem is still attached, you should be able to easily remove it. If not, it's not ripe. At the stem area, look at the color of the circle. Green & greenish is underripe. Beige is great. Grey, dark brown, or black is overripe. It should thump with a hollow sound. And if the watermelon is oddly shaped, it had a hard time growing due to issues with nutrient or water uptake, not having enough space, or the ability to receive ample sunlight. I like the biggest melon I can find, but many swear that medium sized are more likely to be the best. Personally, I find if you make all of the other checks, large size doesn't make much of a difference.
      Just don't get the GMO or heavily fertilized ones. Unfortunately, sometimes you may not know when receiving or buying a watermelon, for whatever reason. So if you find there are no seeds when you open it or the seeds are very tiny or very flat, with nothing inside & bright white, you may might want to just gift it to a nondiscriminatory neighbor, because it's most likely GMO. Also, you might want to pass if there are huge air wedges inside as well as they are a sign of either GMO or a victim of mega over-fertilization, with a product such as Miracle Gro. I'm not dissing MG per se, but too much of anything has got to be bad for the body. Just saying, you are & your children are what you eat.
