Instructions

1. Brew the Tea: Heat the water until just before it boils and pour it over the green tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for about 3 minutes, then remove the bags and let the tea cool to room temperature.
2. Blend the Watermelon: While the tea is cooling, blend the watermelon chunks in a blender until smooth. If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the juice to remove any solid pieces.
3. Mix and Chill: Combine the cooled green tea, watermelon juice, and lime juice in a large pitcher. Stir well.
4. Serve: Refrigerate until chilled or serve immediately over ice for an instant cooling effect.

Helpful Tips

• Enhancing Sweetness: If your watermelon isn’t as sweet as you’d like, feel free to add a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup to the tea before chilling.
• Boosting Flavor: A sprig of mint or a dash of ginger can add a refreshing twist to this already delightful drink.

Substitutions/Variations

• Tea Options: Feel adventurous by using jasmine green tea for a floral hint or a mint green tea for extra zest.
• Fruit Twists: Swap out watermelon for honeydew or cantaloupe for a different kind of sweet, summery vibe.
