Using a blender to puree fresh watermelon is the easiest way to infuse the drink with watermelon flavor. Simply blend the watermelon with a bit of water or ice to create a smooth, juicy puree. Tip: Use a high-speed blender for a smoother puree. You can also strain the puree if you want a clearer iced tea.
Use a cold brew coffee maker to steep your tea. This process takes longer, but it results in a more mellow and refined flavor, perfect for iced tea. Tip: Steep the tea for 6-12 hours in cold water, depending on your preferred strength.
Tip: Make large batches and store them in mason jars for easy access whenever you want a refreshing drink.
For the best flavor, always use a ripe watermelon that is sweet and juicy. This will elevate your iced tea with natural sweetness!
If your watermelon is already sweet, you may not need much added sugar. Consider using honey or agave syrup for a more natural sweetness.
Try using herbal teas like mint, chamomile, or hibiscus for an added layer of flavor in your watermelon iced tea!
For a refreshing twist, squeeze some fresh lime juice into your iced tea. It balances the sweetness of the watermelon and adds a tangy kick.
Garnish with a sprig of mint, basil, or even lemon balm to enhance the aromatic experience of your watermelon iced tea.
Let your watermelon iced tea chill in the fridge for a few hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
