What to do with extra hot tea that you didn’t finish?? Don’t waste it, refrigerate, and transform your tea into a refreshing seasonal fruit iced drink! I just started “Tea Time Tuesday” where I’ll jump on Instagram live or share a reel of whatever tea I’m working on or drinking at that moment. Nothing scripted or planned, just me on the fly, sharing tea facts, making bloopers and creating communitea.
This week, I got fresh watermelon from the UC South Coast farm right here in Irvine. They asked if there’s anything I can make with it, and it was an instant “Heck yeah!” So I’ve never made a watermelon tea before… it turned out pretty darn refreshing! I cut & muddled fresh watermelon flesh with mint, honey and lemon juice. Top with cold tea, ice, garnish and voila!
There are so many types of Summery fruit teas to make, I’m thinking about a peach or fresh mango tea for Tea Time next Tuesday… which one sounds yummier??
