Watermelon refresher
A refreshing summer drink!
PREP TIME 1 hour 15 min | SERVES 2 | VEGETARIAN
INGREDIENTS
- 2 hibiscus tea bags
- 4 cups chopped peeled seedless watermelon
- 1⁄2 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1 lime, peeled
To serve
- Sliced watermelon
- Mint leaves
METHOD
STAND tea bags in 1 cup (250ml) boiling water in a heatproof jug or bowl for 5 minutes. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until cold. Discard tea bags.
PUSH watermelon, mint and lime through a juice extractor into a large jug, adding the mint half way through juicing so that the watermelon pushes it through. Add cooled hibiscus tea; stir juice to combine.
SERVE juice immediately with sliced watermelon and micro mint leaves.
TOP TIPS: This will use about ¼ of a small watermelon. This drink will separate when left to stand, so it is best served immediately.
