Watermelon Juice recipe - Kalingad juice

Watermelon juice recipe - Summer has started here. It is very hot both inside and outside the house. We feel like drinking  more liquid than eating. In such a situation we rely on fresh fruit juices rather than anything else. The juice made with fresh watermelon and little sugar is an ideal drink to refresh and quench the thirst. I made this juice without any added water in it.
