Watermelon Iced Tea Instructions
Bring the 4 cups of water to a boil, then remove from the heat.
Toss in tea bags, and let sit for 20 minutes.
Cut the top of the watermelon off, and save for later.
Scoop out the red part.
Place the red part of the watermelon into a blender or food processor, and liquify.
Pour the watermelon juice into a pan, and sprinkle in the sugar.
Mix until well combined, then bring to a boil, and cook for 2 minutes.
Turn the heat off, then remove the pan from heat, and let sit for 5 minutes.
Pour the watermelon juice into a pitcher, along with the now concentrated tea.
Add in a few drops of red food coloring (optional).
Stir, then let it sit until it cools.
Cut the leftover watermelon into cubes, and clean the mint leaves.
