Subak-hwachae (수박화채) or watermelon punch is a variety of hwachae (punch) in which watermelon is a primary ingredient.[1] It is widely consumed during summer throughout Korea to keep cool in hot temperatures.[2]

Preparation

Watermelon is cut in half, and the interior flesh is either scooped out using a melon baller or cut into small pieces with a knife. Then the seeds are removed.[3] The hollowed watermelon rind may be cut decoratively and used as the serving bowl for hwachae.[1] Watermelon juice, sweeteners like sugar and honey, and sometimes water are also added to the punch.[1] To complete the preparation, scooped or sliced watermelon pieces, bits of other fruits, and ice cubes are put in the bowl. Occasionally, soju is thrown in the mix as well.[4]
