I know this works for kidney stones and it may help for UTIs.
I'll give you links to the webpages for the items you need. I'm not
associated with any of the mentioned companies. I did this research many
years ago for my husband who gets kidney stones.
1. The first item you'll need is the system in which to make the tea you
are going to drink:

Buy this at any retailer of your choice that sells it. Also buy the
filters that go into the basket. They're regular paper coffee filters.
2. The second item you will need is tea, but not Lipton or most anything
sold in grocery stores because that type of tea causes kidney stones.
What you need is Rooibos tea. Various companies sell this such as The
Repubic of Tea, health food stores, etc. Buy whatever flavor you would
like to drink (without caffeine).
3. The third item is the sweetener of your choice. I'm not a fan of
artificial sweeteners, but go with what works for you.
4. Finally, the most important item in this is ground watermelon seeds:

A few other companies sell them, but this is the cheapest I have found
them. The packets of seeds need to be refrigerated after being opened,
but they last forever.
Brew the tea according to the instruction and add about 1/4 cup of the
seeds to the filter basket. You will need a lot of sweetener because the
tea by itself is very bitter. This has saved my husband from lithotripsy
many times and has cured a few UTIs over the years.
