ICED MELON MOROCCAN MINT TEA

Iced Melon Moroccan Mint Tea image

I grow mint on my balcony, and this refreshing beverage is a wonderful way to use it. It combines two of my favorite drinks-Moroccan Mint Tea and Honeydew Agua Fresca. For extra flair, add some ginger ale. -Sarah Batt Throne, El Cerrito, California
