Watermelon Basil Seeds Drink Recipe
Watermelon Basil Seeds Drink is a refreshing, hydrating and healthy beverage that can be easily prepared in minutes. This drink is made by blending juicy watermelon, basil seeds, lime juice, and sugar (optional) together to create a smooth and creamy drink. The basil seeds are soaked in water for about 10-15 minutes, after which they become soft and add a unique crunch to the drink. The lime juice adds a tangy and citrusy flavor to the drink, which balances out the sweetness of the watermelon.

Notes & Tips
- Watermelon: Ensure that you use a ripe and sweet watermelon to make the juice.

- Adding Sugar: If watermelon is not too sweet then you could add some sugar to make it sweet. But I suggest not to use any sugar or sweetener and enjoy Juice as it is.
- Straining the Juice: Optionally, you can also strain juice through a Strainer after blending it.
