Ingredients

Melon
1 ½

2 liters
Life Essence
10ml

Recipe Instructions

  1. Start by rinsing the bottle with water.
    Pour about 100 ml of server water into the bottle, secure the lid, and shake well to ensure the water reaches all areas for a thorough rinse.
    Discard the server water used for rinsing; there’s no need to dry any remaining droplets.
    Next, sanitize the bottle and lid by spraying them generously with the multi-functional water spray.
    Be sure to also sanitize your hands, cutting board, and knife thoroughly with the multi-functional mineral-enriched water spray to maintain a clean preparation environment.

  2. To reduce pesticides, remove wax, and eliminate other similar substances, mix 5 ml of Life Essence with 1 liter of server water. Soak the lemons, ensuring they total exactly 1 kg, in this solution for 3 minutes.
    In this recipe, since we are using 2 liters of server water, we have added 10 ml of Life Essence.

  3. Cut the melon in half lengthwise and remove the seeds with a spoon.
    Cut the melon into quarters lengthwise.
    Run a knife between the rind and the flesh to separate them.
    Cut the flesh into 2 cm-wide slices.
    Be sure to remove all rinds and seeds, as they contain substances that inhibit enzyme activity.
    Next, place the bottle on a kitchen scale, set it to 0 grams to exclude the bottle's weight, and add melon pieces until they weigh exactly 1 kg. Keep the weight within a margin of 5 grams over or under.
    Then, add 1 kg of beet sugar and 50 ml of multi-functional mineral-enriched water to the bottle. Secure the lid tightly, and shake the bottle about 30 times, allowing air to mix in so that the beet sugar blends with the fruit.
    Make sure to shake the bottle 30 times every day.
    If the beet sugar is clumped, don't worry. Over the next 2-3 days, the fruit will release moisture, and the sugar will gradually dissolve and mix in.

  4. After 3 months, start by sanitizing all the tools you'll be using with a spray of multi-functional mineral-enriched water.
    Be sure to thoroughly spray your hands with the multi-functional mineral-enriched water as well.
    Shake the bottle about 30 times to mix well.
    Use a strainer or sieve to filter out the pulp from the drink.
    Use a spatula or similar tool to gently press the pulp, extracting as much liquid as possible.
    Transfer the liquid to a drink bottle.
    Spray the new bottle and its lid with the multi-functional mineral-enriched water.
    After transferring, secure the lid tightly and store the bottle in the refrigerator.
    Next, transfer the remaining pulp to a food storage container, such as a stock pack.
    Be sure to spray the container with multi-functional mineral-enriched water as well.
    Seal the container tightly and store it in the refrigerator.
    The pulp can also be stored in the freezer.
    you can process the desired amount in a blender to make jam-like spreads or, use it as is by drying it to make dried fruit.
