Ingredients

4 cups ripe honeydew melon, diced (about 1 medium melon)

3 cups cold water

1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)

1/4 cup honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)

A pinch of sea salt

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Lime slices, for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Melon: Start by cutting the honeydew melon in half. Remove the seeds, and scoop out the flesh with a melon baller or spoon. Dice the flesh into small pieces for easier blending.

Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the diced honeydew melon and about 1 cup of the cold water. Blend until smooth. If your blender isn't large enough, blend in batches.

Strain (optional): If you prefer a smoother agua fresca, pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher, pressing down on the pulp to extract as much juice as possible.

Mix Everything: To the strained honeydew juice (or blended mixture if you chose not to strain), add the remaining 2 cups of cold water, fresh lime juice, honey (or agave syrup), and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved.

Taste and Adjust: Taste your agua fresca and adjust sweetness or acidity to your liking by adding more honey or lime juice as desired.

Chill: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Serve: Pour over ice in glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves and lime slices.

Enjoy: Sip and savor the refreshing taste of your homemade Honeydew Melon Agua Fresca!
