Cook jelly
With 2.5kg of watermelon, we will obtain about 1.6 liters of watermelon juice. Thus, we will add 1 pack of jelly powder and 150g of sugar into the watermelon juice and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.

How to choose fresh and delicious watermelon
- First, when choosing watermelon, you should prioritize those with dark green skin, smooth texture, and clear stripes.
- Next, to select sweet and fresh watermelon, you should choose those with small and withered stems, and the bottom of the fruit should have a light yellow color.
- Do not choose those with pale skin or green stems, as these are fruits harvested too early, with bland taste, less crunchiness, and sweetness.
