Pure watermelon juice and strong mint tea combine to make a refreshing, naturally sweet, blended drink. You could even add a touch of spearmint simple syrup.

Summer is such a wonderful season. All the sun and fun, BBQs, holidays, and outings. Easy recipes are key.
Watermelon is one of my favourite summer fruits. You can use it in so many ways. Just cut and eat, use it in salads, frozen treats, grilled, or used in drinks.
Have you ever tried a watermelon pizza for an easy dessert? How about grilled strawberries?
Drinks can be refreshing, tasty and nutritious without being full of sugar. Did you know you can make a no sugar added slushy?
It is great when you can add nutrition into your day so easily. Watermelon is super healthy!

Did you know watermelon can be considered a fruit or a vegetable?
Blended Watermelon Juice With Mint Tea
This watermelon mint iced tea is so easy to make. 2 ingredients are all you need! You don’t have to worry about how to slice a watermelon. You only have to roughly chop it. Your blender will do all the work.
I just use my blender on the “liquify” cycle, put in pieces of watermelon, and in a few seconds, I have pure watermelon juice.
Pour it into a pitcher and keep it in the fridge. Ready to use whenever you like. I love drinking it when I need a quick burst of energy.
Since watermelon is mostly water, any blender will work. If there is too much pulp, you can always pour it through a strainer. Personally, I don’t mind the pulp. Added fiber works for me.
Suggestions / Recipe Tips
For the mint tea, you can use whatever kind you like. I happen to prefer a tea that is more spearmint than peppermint. You can get mint tea in bags, or loose tea.
You can create your own blend using whatever mint tea you like. Just steep some tea (I like to use double the amount so the tea is nice and strong), let it cool, and add it to the crushed watermelon juice.
This summer drink recipe has a ratio of 1 part tea and 2 parts juice, but feel free to experiment and come up with your perfect combination.
You can replace the tea with plain sparkling water. Lime sparkling water would be so delicious. Turn it into a fun adult spritzer with a splash of alcohol.
Have you tried lemon tea and blackberry popsicles? A fun and healthy treat for hot summer days. Matcha cupcakes are sweet, earthy, and super easy to make with the help of a cake mix. No baking from scratch is needed.

I agree…just made another pitcher myself.
Annemarie @ justalittlebitofbacon
That looks like the perfect drink for these hot days. I love watermelon and mint together, though I usually just whir up some mint leaves in the blender with the watermelon. I’ll have to try it with the mint tea!
Chef G
It works great!
