Watermelon refresher

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.
