Recipe

Cut the watermelon into pieces of suitable size so it blends smoothly in the blender.
Fill the blender with watermelon up to about 80% of its capacity. The watermelon’s natural moisture will help blend it; if it doesn’t blend well at first, gently press down on the fruit to extract juice and aid blending.
Add sugar according to taste to maximize the sweetness of the watermelon juice.
Turn on the blender and process until the watermelon and sugar are fully combined into a smooth liquid.
Add plenty of ice to the blended watermelon pulp and blend again until the ice is finely crushed, resembling shaved ice.
Pour the finished base watermelon juice directly into a serving glass and enjoy it cold.
For a unique refreshing touch, fill the glass halfway or two-thirds with watermelon juice, then gently pour sparkling water on top to create a beautiful layered effect.

Place cut watermelon into the blender up to about 80% capacity, add sugar, and blend until smooth.
Add generous amounts of ice and blend again until the ice is finely crushed.
Serve the juice as-is in a glass, or pour in sparkling water to enjoy as a refreshing watermelonade.

Cooking tips

Watermelon alone may not taste as sweet as expected, so be sure to add enough sugar to achieve the rich, intense flavor characteristic of Tang Mo Ban.
To store leftover watermelon, chop it finely and portion into single servings in disposable plastic bags before freezing. This way, you can make instantly chilled juice later without needing extra ice.
There’s no need to remove watermelon seeds—blending them in is perfectly fine and even adds a nutty flavor and health benefits.
For better visual appeal when mixing in sparkling water, avoid pre-mixing; instead, gently pour it over the juice to form a distinct layer.
