watermelon green tea fresca
~ watermelon green tea fresca ~
You may have heard of the popular Latin beverage agua fresca, a refreshing drink that can be made by combining water and any number of fresh fruits. Well, I decided to expound on this idea, and instead of using water as the base of my drink, I used green tea. I am so excited to share this recipe with you. It’s wonderful, and so good for you.
for 2 servings:
1 and 1/2 cups sweet, seedless watermelon chunks
1 cup cold green tea
juice of 1/2 lime
3 Tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup ice cubes
4 large mint leaves
ginger ale or ginger beer
Place all ingredients, except the ginger ale, in the bowl of a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into glasses and top off with a splash of ginger ale. Enjoy immediately.
Happy TeaTime Tuesday!

Im planning to make this delicious drink. We are always looking for something new to drink. Especially with fruit like watermelon. Thanks
enjoy Catalina 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by!
More perfection, my sweet Melissa! I really LOVE this! I’m making a number of dietary changes recently as I’m determined to alkalinize my system 🙂 I start my morning with room temp filtered water and the juice of 1 lemon, and then comes the green tea! After an hour or so comes organic Greek yogurt with just a bit of local honey and your AMAZING granola! :)I’m amazed at how much I love the green tea since I’ve always been such a coffee lover. Everything in your watermelon green tea fresca appeals to me tremendously! Thank you! xoxoxo
