Watermelon Blueberry Sun Tea | Lemons and Basil

This Watermelon Blueberry Sun Tea is delightfully refreshing and full of flavor – the perfect thirst-quencher as the weather warms up!

Making sun tea reminds me of my mom.🧡I can vividly remember her glass jar with the yellow lid and writing on the side sitting on the back patio table. Gosh that’s been so long ago. Why have I never thought to make my own as an adult? I can’t help but wonder if she were still here if she’d still be making sun tea and if perhaps I would have before now, too?

I guess I’ll never know the answers to some of those questions. But I’m pretty sure that if she were still with us, she’d be a fan of this Watermelon Blueberry Sun Tea. It’s a simple recipe, yet the infusion of the fruit in the tea brings so much flavor. And it was just SO easy to make!

What I Love about this Watermelon Blueberry Sun Tea:

  • It makes me feel nostalgic 🧡
  • Super simple and oh so yummy
  • My kids loved helping with it ☺️
  • Incredibly light and refreshing – picnic ready!
  • Pretty and festive for the warmer months ahead

As it goes with watermelon, it took a few minutes to remove the rinds and slice it up. But aside from that, the tea was ready to be placed outside within a matter of minutes. Much like my mama, I set ours on the back patio table.☺️ I got it out there around lunch time, on a partly cloudy day, with the temperature about 80 degrees. After about 4 hours, it was perfect! Had it been a fully sunny day and in the middle of Summer, I’d have probably brought it in a little sooner. So keep that in mind if you make it later in the year!

I swung into Sprouts to grab my ingredients for this sun tea. Familiar with their extensive selection of herbal teas and always a fan of their fresh produce, it was the obvious choice! I opted for Celestial’s True Blueberry tea for my sun tea. I went this route for two reasons, A.) caffeine free so my kids could partake, and B.) it was the perfect complement for the watermelon and blueberries I had in mind. 🙌🏻

If you’re looking for a refreshing drink, or a fun activity with the kiddos, give this Watermelon Blueberry Sun Tea a try!
