Pro tips

  • Ripe watermelons are higher in nutrients than ones that are not ripe. Learn how to pick a ripe watermelon in this article: How to Pick a Ripe Watermelon

  • Watermelon and orange are mushy fruit, so take care not to overfill the press to avoid overflow.

  • If you don’t have access to fresh cardamom, use a small pinch of ready ground per serving.

  • A slice of red beet can be substituted for the dried hibiscus if you don’t have any on hand.
