Tips and Tricks

Use a ripe and juicy melon for the best flavor.
If you don't have fresh mint leaves, dried mint can be used instead.
Make sure to let the tea cool to room temperature before adding the melon mixture to avoid cooking the fruit.
To speed up the chilling process, chill the tea in the refrigerator before adding ice.
