Summertime Watermelon Iced Tea

We’re in Florida now on vacation and enjoying the warm sunny weather and long days of summer! 
I love a nice cold glass of iced tea and I thought I would add one of my favorite summer fruits, watermelon, to my drink today. You can make your own watermelon juice, or use bottled as I did, but be sure to add some fresh watermelon too! A refreshing and delicious way to beat the heat!


Ingredients: 

Makes 2 drinks
  • 2 cups brewed tea
  • 1 cup watermelon juice
  • ice
  • watermelon balls, as garnish

Directions: 

  1. Fill two glasses with ice.
  2. Add 1 cup of brewed tea to each glass {I use sweet tea}.
  3. Add 1/2 cup watermelon juice on top of each.
  4. Using a melon baller, scoop 6-8 balls of watermelon out of a thick slice of watermelon and thread on two skewers.
  5. Add a skewer and a straw to each glass and serve. 

 As a Southern girl, I love me some sweet tea and juicy watermelon!
 Why not combine them?!
 Fill two glasses with ice.
Add 1 cup of brewed tea to each glass {I use sweet tea}.
Add 1/2 cup watermelon juice on top of each.
 Using a melon baller, scoop 6-8 balls of watermelon out of a thick slice of watermelon 
and thread on two skewers.
Add a skewer and a straw to each glass and serve. 
 Come sit a spell and enjoy!

🦀 Check out our lunch yesterday at my parents favorite local spot, @soiasianbistro . We tried a variety of items off of their massive updated menu.
🍣 The sushi was by far the best thing we ordered. Another must try is the Shiso Mono appetizer, which is tempura fried Japanese basil leaves stuffed with spiced tuna. 
🍤 We also ordered cucumber salad, pork ramen, udon noodles, and chicken katsu curry. All were tasty and big enough to share with the sushi appetizer. 
🍜 I recommend checking out Soi Bistro if you are in town and enjoy fresh seafood and Asian dishes like we do. But save it for a date night or special occasion b/c their price point was pretty high for a casual meal. ❤

I recently updated this post and made my Shrimp & Grits with Greens for dinner on Mardi Gras. This dish is the ultimate hearty comfort food meal, both Southern and Cajun inspired. #mardigras #shrimpandgrits #southernfood

Happy Mardi Gras! We enjoyed a delicious Cajun inspired meal tonight at home. We started with Shrimp and Grits and ended with Bananas Foster to share. We may not live in Louisiana anymore but we can still celebrate #FatTuesday ! Here's hoping the parades will be back next year. 📿❤ #mardigras2020 #bananasfoster #whatsfordinner #mardigras

It's one of those days...furnance went out (but was fixed), kids took over my bed, husband had to leave early for work, dog barked non stop, and it's a snow day... again. But the sun is shining, the kids are happy, and I'm stocked up on coffee and new books. So it's not so bad after all. #staypositive
