ReplyDelete21 months already??
if you cook the drink for a longer period, then it will not be so cooling.
Do you give your kid the watermelon flesh? if so, then this drink should be ok
Lily,
ReplyDeleteOn Hawaii we pickle watermelon rind like in kim chee and Cantonese style sweet and sour pickle too.
I use it in salad and in dishes like sweet & sour fish or pork.
