Recipe: Lemon, basil, watermelon and cucumber juice

1. First, we must wash our hands and rinse the ingredients until they’re clean. Especially the basil leaves.
2. Then, cut half a cucumber, slice the watermelon, carefully remove its skin and seeds with the help of a knife. On the other hand, cut the lemon in half and extract its juice with the help of a citrus squeezer or by hand, making sure that seeds don’t fall into the liquid.
3. Finally, blend all the ingredients until there’re no lumps. If you use a juice extractor, you won’t need to use the cup of water.
