Try this fruity and hydrating twist on tea with a watermelon green tea refresher, a healthy alcohol-free summer drink that features watermelon, green tea, and lime.
I live in Colorado, but I am still a southern girl who loves her iced tea. The past few weeks have been so hot I have been making a batch of iced tea almost daily. When we opened a super sweet watermelon I knew I just had to combine it into a hydrating refreshing mocktail. Watermelon green tea refresher is made with 3 simple ingredients and is filled with antioxidants. This green tea refresher is gluten-free, vegan, sugar-free, and a summer favorite!
