This looks really refreshing. Good use for leftover watermelon. Or if you wanted just add a shot of Vodka to make it a cocktail.

Ingredients 4 tsp peppermint tea

⅓ cup agave nectar or honey

4 pounds seedless watermelon, chopped (about 6 cups)

¼ cup packed fresh mint leaves and stems + a few sprigs for garnish

Juice of 1 lime

Directions

Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the tea remove from the heat, and let steep for 8 minutes. Remove the tea leaves and stir in the agave nectar or honey. Pour the tea into a pitcher and chill until cold, at least 1 hour.

Meanwhile, puree the watermelon and mint in a blender or food processor. Run the puree through a medium-mesh strainer, pressing on the pulp to extract the juice. Discard the pulp.

Stir the watermelon juice and lime juice into the chilled tea mixture. Pour each serving over ice and garnish with a mint sprig.
