To make Muskmelon Juice, first choose the correct muskmelon. This fruit is a round melon with firm, orange, moderately-sweet flesh and a thin reticulated light-brown rind. If you tap the melon with your palm and hear a hollow sound, the melon has passed the first test. Choose a melon that seems heavy for its size and one that does not have bruises or overly-soft spots.
-
Secondly, wash the muskmelon to remove dirt if any.
-
Wipe the muskmelon using a clean kitchen towel.
-
Cut the muskmelon into 4 pieces using a sterilized sharp knife.
-
Then peel the muskmelon using the same sterilised sharp knife. Try and avoid leaving any green or white part on the muskmelon.
-
Scoop out all the seeds of the melon using a clean sterilized spoon and discard them.
-
Cut the muskmelon into medium sized cubes using the sharp knife. At this stage again ensure that there are no seeds or white pith. If there is any discard it. 3/4 medium sized muskmelon will approximately yield 2 cups muskmelon cubes.
