Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups filtered water, plus more for ice cubes
• 1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh ginger
• 2 teaspoons loose leaf green tea or loose leaf jasmine green tea
• 24 fresh mint leaves, torn if large
• ½ small seedless watermelon, peeled and cut into medium chunks (about 8 cups), chilled

Directions

• Add water to a kettle and bring to a boil. Place ginger and tea in a tea pot and cover with boiling water. Cover and steep for 15 minutes. Using a fine mesh sieve, strain steeped tea into a large glass measuring cup; discard tea leaves and ginger. Refrigerate tea for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until cold.
• Meanwhile, place 2 mint leaves in each portion of a 12-cup ice cube tray. Fill with filtered water and freeze until solid, about 5 hours.
• Add watermelon to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Using a fine mesh sieve, strain into a large pitcher; stir in chilled tea. Serve cold with mint ice cubes.
