Ingredients:
4
A refreshing and flavorful sweet tea infused with the natural essence of watermelon and served with frozen watermelon ice balls for a unique twist.
Ingredients
2 | Water |
|---|---|
3 | family-sized tea bags |
3⁄4 | cup honey (or other sweetener) |
1 | 5-6 lb. seedless watermelon (including rind) |
Instructions
| 1. | Begin by cutting the watermelon in half. One half will be utilized for extracting watermelon juice, while the other half will be used to create frozen watermelon balls. |
|---|---|
| 2. | The night before serving, employ a melon baller to create balls from half of the watermelon flesh. Proceed to freeze the watermelon balls on a flat surface, such as a cookie sheet, in a single layer. |
| 3. | Cut the remaining half of the watermelon into chunks and blend them in a high-powered blender until fully liquefied. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to eliminate any solid particles. |
| 4. | In a saucepan, bring half of the water (equivalent to 4 cups) to a boil. |
| 5. | Remove the saucepan from heat and add the tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for 10 minutes, then discard the tea bags. |
| 6. | Transfer the brewed tea to your desired container and incorporate the honey or preferred sweetener. Ensure thorough stirring for proper combination. |
| 7. | Once the honey has completely dissolved, introduce the remaining water and the strained watermelon juice to the tea mixture. |
| 8. | Chill the tea in the refrigerator until it is ready to be served. Serve the refreshing beverage with the balled watermelon ice balls for an added touch of elegance. |
