How To Make Korean Watermelon Punch (Subak Hwachae) Recipe

1. Cut the watermelon into quarters. Use a melon baller to scoop out the flesh into small balls. Alternatively, you can cut the watermelon flesh into small cubes.

2. Place the watermelon balls or cubes into a large serving bowl. Make sure to include any juice that comes out during the cutting or scooping process, as it adds flavour to the punch.

3. In a separate bowl, combine the milk and sweetened condensed milk or sugar. Adjust the amount of sweetener to your taste preference. Stir until the sweetened condensed milk or sugar is completely dissolved in the milk.

4. Gradually add the chilled lemon-lime soda to the milk mixture. Stir gently to combine. Be careful not to stir too vigorously to preserve the carbonation in the soda.

5. Pour the milk and soda mixture over the watermelon pieces into the large serving bowl. Stir gently to ensure that the watermelon pieces are evenly distributed throughout the liquid base.

6. Scatter the chopped blueberries on top of the punch for a colourful garnish. This will add an extra touch of flavour and visual appeal.

7. To serve, ladle the watermelon punch into small individual serving bowls. You can serve the punch immediately or chill it in the refrigerator to enhance the refreshing flavours.
