This homemade watermelon iced tea is an energizing and a cooling beverage perfect to beat the heat. Nothing can be more soothing and refreshing than fresh watermelon drink.
Boil 4 cups of water and 1 tbsp of sugar in a pan on a medium flame for 4-5 minutes or till the sugar dissolves in the water.
Turn off the flame and now add the tea bags or tea powder in the boiling water and cover the pan with a lid.
Let the tea bags sit for 15-20 minutes.
HOW TO MAKE WATERMELON JUICE:
Now start preparing the watermelon juice. Cut the Watermelon into half and start by scooping the flesh of the watermelon. Keep aside few watermelon pieces in a bowl and puree the rest of the watermelon in a blender and strain the fresh juice and pour it into a pitcher.
There's no need to add sugar in the watermelon juice as it is already naturally sweet in taste plus we have a sweetened ice tea syrup.
Now remove the tea bags from the water and start with preparing the iced tea.
Take 2 tall glasses or mason jars as per your liking.
How to serve per glass-
Pour watermelon juice in a glass, top it with concentrated ice tea syrup and ice cubes. Stir it well and garnish it with fresh mint leaves and watermelon pieces.
