Watermelon Sweet Tea 

Ingredients:

4 of your favourite tea bags (I used “Gorgeous Geisha” from the T2 tea range.)
6 cups of boiling water
3-4 leafy stems of Mint & a few leaves to garnish
1 small fresh watermelon
Ice cubes

Method:

Place the tea bags and mint stems in a large jug. Pour over the boiling water and leave to steep for 8 - 10 minutes.
Then, remove and discard the tea bags and the mint. Leave to cool.

Meanwhile, cut the watermelon flesh into cubes and puree in a blender until smooth.
You may need to add a little water to get things moving.
Pour the watermelon puree into a strainer set over a large bowl and gently push the pulp to release the juice.
Don’t scrape and push too hard, or your tea will come out too pulpy (unless you prefer it that way).
You should have about 3 cups of juice. Refrigerate the juice until the tea is cooled.

 In a jug big enough to handle all the tea, mix the tea and the watermelon juice together and stir well.
Add sugar or sweetener if needed.
Serve over lots of ice and a sprig of mint.

XO.
