Ingredients
Tea
- 2 bags Green tea bags
- 1 cups Water
Refresher
- 2 cups Cubed seedless watermelon
- 2 tbsp Fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp Honey (optional)
- 1 Kosher salt
- as needed Ice
Garnish

Instructions
Heat 1 1/2 cups water to approximately 175°F.
Steep green tea bags approximately 3 minutes.
Remove tea bags without squeezing.
Cool completely and refrigerate until cold.
Blend the watermelon until completely liquefied.
Strain through a fine-mesh strainer for a smoother drink if desired.
Measure approximately 1 cup watermelon juice.
Combine it with the chilled green tea and fresh lime juice.
Add ONE very small pinch of kosher salt. The drink should NOT taste salty. The salt is only intended to sharpen the watermelon flavor.
Stir thoroughly.
Taste before adding honey.
If the watermelon is naturally sweet, omit the honey.
If necessary, add 1–2 teaspoons honey.
Serve very cold over ice.
Garnish with watermelon or lime if desired.
