For the Tea

2 bags Tazo Passion herbal tea bags Provides a rich, fruity flavor; you can swap for any herbal tea for a unique twist.
4 cups Boiling water Essential for brewing; ensure it's boiling to extract maximum flavor from the tea bags.

For the Juice

2 cups Watermelon juice The star of the show, offering a naturally sweet and hydrating base.
1/4 cup Freshly squeezed lime juice Adds a bright, zesty kick to balance the sweetness; bottled lime juice can substitute.

For Serving

2 cups Ice cubes Key for a chilled refreshment; without them, you might miss that cool sensation.
1 whole Fresh lime slices (optional) Use these as a garnish to elevate the drink's presentation.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by boiling water in a kettle until it reaches a rolling boil. Remove it from heat and steep two Tazo Passion tea bags in the water for about 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, carefully remove tea bags and allow the brewed tea to cool at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes. Then transfer to refrigerator and chill for an additional 30 minutes.
In a large pitcher, pour the chilled tea and add fresh watermelon juice along with freshly squeezed lime juice. Stir well until all ingredients are combined.
Place the pitcher back in the refrigerator to let the mixture chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
When ready to serve, fill tall glasses with ice cubes, pour the Watermelon Refresher over the ice, and garnish with a slice of fresh lime.

Ensure brewed tea is completely cooled before mixing; stir thoroughly before serving.
