Instructions
-
Begin by preparing your ingredients. Cut the watermelon into cubes and deseed it. If using fresh raspberries, rinse them thoroughly, or choose your favorite citrus fruit for an alternate flavor profile.
-
In a blender, combine the watermelon cubes, fresh raspberries (or your choice of citrus fruit), sugar, salt, and chaat masala powder. Add one cup of water to help blend the ingredients smoothly.
-
Blend everything together until smooth, ensuring there are no chunks remaining.
-
Once the mixture is smooth, add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the blender. Stir well to combine. You can strain the juice to remove any pulp, or serve it with the pulp for a heartier texture.

Serve the Watermelon Raspberry Lemonade over ice in tall glasses. For an extra touch, garnish with additional watermelon cubes or fresh berries.
