Ingredients

• 4 cups seedless watermelon, cubed
• 1 cup coconut water
• 1 cup brewed green tea, cooled
• 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
• Juice of 1 lime
• Mint leaves, for garnish
• Ice cubes, as needed

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the watermelon cubes and coconut water. Blend until smooth, reveling in the bright, refreshing aroma of the watermelon.
2. Pour the watermelon-coconut mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove any pulp. The liquid should be smooth and vibrant.
3. Add the cooled green tea, honey (if using), and lime juice to the pitcher. Stir well to combine, ensuring the honey is fully dissolved if added. The blend should smell delightfully sweet and slightly tangy.
4. Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the watermelon coconut tea over the ice. The drink should be a beautiful shade of pink, with hints of green from the mint garnish.
5. Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves to add a touch of elegance and a refreshing scent.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• For a natural sweetener, you can replace honey with agave syrup or a splash of apple juice.
• Serve in a chilled glass for an extra refreshing experience, perfect for a hot day.
• Add a splash of sparkling water for a fizzy twist, making it a delightful mocktail for parties.

Storage and Substitutions

• Refrigerate any leftover drink base in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Just give it a good stir before serving again.
• If watermelon is out of season, substitute with strawberries for a different yet equally refreshing taste.

This Watermelon Coconut Tea pairs perfectly with light snacks such as cucumber sandwiches, fruit salads, or even a plate of freshly baked scones. For dessert, try serving with a light coconut macaroons or a tropical fruit tart.
