Refreshing Watermelon Juice with Lemon and Salt

-

Welcome to our culinary journey! Today, we're diving into the realm of refreshing summer beverages with a twist – Watermelon Juice with Lemon and Salt. This delightful concoction combines the sweetness of watermelon with the tanginess of lemon and a hint of salt to create a drink that's not only hydrating but also bursting with flavour.



Ingredients:

  • 4 cups of fresh watermelon chunks, seedless
  • 1-2 lemons, juiced
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • Ice cubes (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Watermelon:

  • Start by cutting the watermelon into chunks, making sure to remove any seeds. If you're short on time, you can also use pre-cut watermelon chunks.

2. Blend the Watermelon:

  • Place the watermelon chunks into a blender. Blend until smooth and no chunks are remaining. If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can add less watermelon or skip adding any additional liquids.

3. Add Lemon Juice:

  • Squeeze the juice of one to two lemons into the blender with the blended watermelon. The amount of lemon juice you use can vary depending on your taste preferences and the acidity of the lemons.

4. Sprinkle Salt:

  • Add a quarter teaspoon of salt to the blender. The salt helps to enhance the flavours of the watermelon and lemon, giving the juice a more complex taste profile. You can adjust the amount of salt to suit your taste.

5. Blend Again:

  • Blend the mixture again for a few seconds to ensure that the lemon juice and salt are well incorporated into the watermelon juice.

6. Strain (Optional):

  • If you prefer a smoother juice, you can strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any pulp. However, if you enjoy the texture of pulp, you can skip this step.

7. Chill and Serve:

  • Transfer the watermelon juice to a pitcher and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill. You can also add ice cubes directly to the pitcher if you prefer your juice extra cold.
  • When ready to serve, pour the watermelon juice into glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness and visual appeal.

8. Enjoy!

  • Sip and savour this delightful Watermelon Juice with Lemon and Salt on a hot summer day. The combination of sweet watermelon, tangy lemon, and a hint of salt is sure to quench your thirst and leave you feeling refreshed.

Whether you're lounging by the pool or hosting a backyard barbecue, this easy-to-make beverage is the perfect way to cool down and enjoy the flavours of summer. Cheers to good times and great taste!

Indian Courts and the Summer Vacation: A Need for Reform in Modern Times

Currently, the legal system of the sub-continent owes much to British colonization regarding its structure, as it is one of the largest and most complex legal systems worldwide. One of its  special  characteristics is that the legal working hours  are structured   in a way  that many of the courts, especially the apex courts, remain shut for almost two months during the summer holidays. A practice that was perhaps well suited to the colonial period has lately been the subject of criticism in light of the current and growing requirement of the courts and the massive unprocessed case file.  Historical Context  The concept of summer vacations can be attributed to the British rule in India since they  too   followed  the practice. The majority of them were British judges  and  they could not bear the heat of the Indian summer. Hence,  a long vacation was introduced  so they could go back to England or other hill stations in India that offered cooler climates.  This practice was followed  i
