Ingredients

• 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
• 2 cups cold water
• 1 cup brewed rose tea, chilled
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
• Ice cubes
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the watermelon cubes and cold water. Blend until the mixture is smooth and no chunks remain. You’ll notice the vibrant pink hue and can almost taste the refreshing watermelon already.

2. Strain the watermelon juice through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher. This will remove the pulp and seeds, leaving you with a silky smooth juice.

3. Add the chilled rose tea to the watermelon juice. The floral aroma of the rose will blend seamlessly with the sweetness of the watermelon.

4. If desired, sweeten the mixture with honey. Stir until the honey is completely dissolved. This step is optional as the natural sweetness of the watermelon might be sufficient.

5. Fill glasses with ice and pour the watermelon rose tea over the ice. The clinking sound of the ice and the chilled tea is refreshing to the senses.

6. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of elegance and aroma.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• For a sweeter drink, substitute honey with agave syrup or use a sweeter variety of watermelon.
• Presentation is key! Serve the tea in clear glasses to showcase its beautiful color.
• For a fun twist, freeze some watermelon cubes to use as ice cubes.

Storage and Substitutions

• Refrigerate any leftover drink in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• If rose tea is unavailable, hibiscus tea can be a lovely substitute.
• For a low-sugar option, skip the honey as the natural sweetness of watermelon may already be perfect for your taste.

Pairings and Complements

• Pair this drink with a light summer salad, perhaps a cucumber and tomato mixture, for a refreshing combination.
• A slice of lemon drizzle cake would complement the tea’s floral notes beautifully.
• For a snack option, serve with a bowl of mixed fresh berries.
