Summer is coming soon and we want to share this lovely Watermelon Mint Iced Tea Recipe
Ingredients:
4 cups of water
2-3 tea bags of your choice (green tea or black tea work well)
2 cups fresh watermelon cubes
Fresh mint leaves
Ice cubes
1-2 tablespoons honey or sweetener of choice (optional)
Watermelon slices and mint sprigs, for garnish
Instructions:
Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the tea bags. Allow to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.
While the tea is steeping, puree the watermelon cubes in a blender until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids, collecting the juice in a bowl.
Remove the tea bags from the pot and add honey or your choice of sweetener while the tea is still warm, stirring until dissolved.
Let the tea cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.
To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour in the chilled tea, leaving some room at the top for the watermelon juice.
Add a splash of watermelon juice to each glass and stir gently to combine.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, a sprig of mint, and a slice of watermelon on the rim of the glass.
Serve immediately and enjoy your cool, refreshing Watermelon Mint Iced Tea!
