Easy Homemade Energy Drink
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup watermelon
- 6 cherries pitted
- 2 limes squeezed
- 2 tsp honey optional
- 20 ounces unsweetened green tea
Instructions
- Juice the limes and measure out the cherries, honey, and watermelon into a blender or food processor. Add the honey.
- Blend on high speed for about one minute.
- Divide the contents of your blender into two 12 ounce bottles, then fill to the top with unsweetened green tea. This mixture will be about 4 ounces, so measure two ounces into each bottle. I think the perfect ratio is 10 oz green tea to 2 ounces juice.
- You can keep this in the fridge for up to five days or so.
