Watermelon Juice with Honey and Pepper Drink

Written by Published on Updated on August 28, 2020 in Drinks

Hey friends,

Have you ever had Watermelon juice with pepper?  I have made it a few times over the summer.  I love water, but sometimes it gets to be a bit boring. 🙂  Of course, I do add cucumbers, or fresh strawberries, a slice of lemon, or lime to give it taste, I also drink sparkling water but still boring.  I had a little leftover of the last Watermelon I bought in the fridge just enough to make this drink.  It is so simple to make, I just threw everything into the blender and that was it. 🙂

Friday, the last day of the week, and the month of August.  Where did Summer go???!! 2020’s summer did not feel like summer to me with the exception of the heatwaves.  Do you feel the same way?  I know its not just me..I have spoken to many who have said the same thing.  A strange summer, some have gone on vacation to other countries in Europe.  France was a popular destination for some of my friends and neighbors. 🙂   I know Summer is over because I am looking out my window at the moment and it’s dark, windy, raining, and cold and it’s only 6:00 am.  Oh wait I see the sun coming outttt!!!

(P.S.  I made this drink during the week when the weather was still hot and beautiful 🙂

Have a lovely Friday and weekend friends!! 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    Such a good idea! I will definitely try it if we will ever have warm weather again here in the North of France😄. Thank you for the recipe ✨

    I know what you mean about summer not being summer this year, it’s been rubbish! I felt the same about last year, but I did miss some of it being in hospital. Still, it’s nothing like when I was a kid and we’d be in t-shirts, sunning ourselves and eating lollies outside for weeks on end. 2020 has just been a total write-off I think.

    I would LOVE a watermelon juice right now, that sounds yum! The honey and pepper add an interesting mix of sweet and sour elements, and a nice kick for health benefits too. I want to try this – it would be a good excuse to dust off the blender and finally use it!! Xxxx

    Being in the US, and having an idiot for a president, meant that no other counties would let us in! I don’t blame the countries, with our covid rates through the roof, but that did mean no real travel for us this summer 😔 Looking forward to next summer 🤞

    I love watermelon and I douse all my food with pepper so I’ll have to try this combination.

    These look incredible. Who would have thought pepper in a drink could look so good?
