WHAT IS THE RASPBERRY WATERMELON REFRESHER FROM DUNKIN?
The Dunkin' raspberry watermelon refresher is made with iced green tea, a vitamin and mineral blend, and flavored fruit concentrate. This dunkin refresher is created with summer watermelon in mind and is a fun drink!
In my opinion, the dunkin drinks have a kind of chemical taste which is why I love making them at home instead.

HOW DO YOU MAKE A DUNKIN REFRESHER AT HOME
STEP 1 BREW ICED GREEN TEA
First, I made cold brew green tea overnight. I used 4 green tea bags in 4 cups of room temperature water and then refrigerated it overnight. You can use either decaf or regular green tea!
In a time pinch, use store bought already brewed green tea, or brew hot green tea and let it cool to room temperature.
STEP 2 BLEND
In your blender add 2 cups of green tea, ½ cup watermelon, ½ cup raspberries, and 1-2 tablespoons honey or agave if using.
If you are making a creamy coconut milk raspberry watermelon refresher add ¼-½ cup coconut milk to your blender too.
Blend until the fruit is pureed into the tea.
STEP 3 POUR
Fill a large glass with ice cubes. Pour the refresher over the ice.
Enjoy!
FAQ'S
What kind of coconut milk do I use to make a creamy refresher?
I buy a carton of coconut milk found in the refrigerator section. There's no need to use the can of full fat coconut milk in this recipe. I tried it will full fat coconut milk and it did not blend into a creamy tea and little chunks of coconut milk were floating in my drink.
Should I use fresh or frozen fruit?
I used fresh fruit in my refresher. But if you use frozen fruit this would make a delicious watermelon raspberry slushy refresher.
Should I use decaf or regular green tea in a refresher?
I used decaf because I wanted an afternoon drink without caffeine! But, if you want an energizing refresher, use regular green tea that contains caffeine.
