Tuesday Tea

It's Tuesday Tea time 

Yes it's early but we are getting ready for a craft show to raise money for the library.  

Watermelon sangria

• ▢6 Cups Cubed Watermelon
• ▢1-2 Cups Sugar
• ▢1 750ml Bottle White Wine
• ▢1 Cup Vodka
• ▢1/2 Cup Fresh Lime Juice
• ▢1-2 Cups Water or Sparkling Water

• Add the cubed watermelon and sugar to your blender and blend until no chunks of watermelon remain.
• Set a fine mesh strainer over a large pitcher and pour the watermelon juice through.
• Add the white wine, vodka, and fresh lime juice to the pitcher and stir well.
• NOTE:  At this point taste the sangria.  It does have a very strong watermelon flavor.  If it is too strong for you add 1-2 cups of water to the pitcher before chilling.
• Chill the sangria for 1 hour before serving

How to pick a watermelon.... 

You want to find the melon that is heavy for its size. This usually means it will be sweeter and will have more water content. Look for an orange creamy field spot. The darker yellow field spot usually means it was on the vine longer and is full of flavor.
