Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 cups sugar
three 3/4-oz packages fresh mint, plus extra sprigs for serving
5 english breakfast or earl grey tea bags
2 cups 1/2-inch cubed watermelon, plus extra for serving
16 strawberries, stemmed, halved, plus extra for serving
1 tsp fresh lemon juice

pinch kosher salt
1 bottle chilled prosecco , optional
