TIPS

  • For quicker chilling: Use pre-chilled hibiscus tea or brew a stronger tea and pour it over ice.
  • For a smoother texture: Strain the blended watermelon to remove any pulp before mixing it with the tea.
  • For enhanced flavour: Let the mint leaves steep in the tea for a few minutes before serving.
  • For a sweeter taste: Add a drizzle of honey or agave syrup if preferred.
  • For a stronger minty note: Mix up the mint leaves before adding them to the drink.

VARIATIONS

  • Caffeine-free version: Replace hibiscus tea with chamomile or another herbal tea.
  • Extra fruity: Add a splash of fresh orange or lime juice for added citrus brightness.
  • Spiced version: Stir in a pinch of ground ginger for a warming contrast to the cooling mint.
  • Sugar-free alternative: Use naturally sweet watermelon and avoid any added sweeteners.
  • Sparkling version: Swap half of the hibiscus tea for sparkling water for a fizzy twist.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Stir before serving.
  • Freezing: Freeze the blended watermelon in ice cube trays and use them in the drink for extra chill without dilution.
