Ingredients
- 5 teaspoons Full Leaf Tea Company Organic Northwest Sunset tea
- 1 small watermelon (approx. 4-5 cups of juice)
- 1-2 limes
- Ice
- (optional) 1/2 cup tequila
- (optional) Sea salt for glass rims
Directions
- Steep the loose leaf tea with 8 oz of hot water and set in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour or the freezer for 10-20 minutes.
- While the tea is cooling down, cut your watermelon into small chunks and set aside.
- Once the tea is cooled, add the watermelon and tea to a blender. You may need to do two batches depending on the size of your blender. Blend until smooth.
- Add your blended watermelon and tea to a large pitcher over ice. Add the tequila if using and the juice of 1 lime.
- Taste your margarita mixture and add additional lime if desired.
- Serve in salt-rimmed glasses if desired with a lime wedge.
Notes
If making this recipe for a party, I would recommend making the tea ahead of time and keeping it in the fridge until you are ready to make these margaritas.
