Steps:
- In a high-powered blender, combine the honeydew and 1 cup water and blend until completely smooth (see Cook's Note). Transfer to a pitcher and stir in the Mint Simple Syrup and lime juice. Add more water or seltzer to taste.
- In a small pot over medium heat, add the sugar and 1 cup water and cook, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat, add the mint and let steep for 5 to 10 minutes. Strain out the mint and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy melons. Look for melons that are heavy for their size and have a sweet smell.
- If you don't have a blender, you can mash the melon in a bowl with a potato masher or fork. Just be sure to strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds or pulp.
- Agua fresca is best served chilled. You can either refrigerate it for a few hours or serve it over ice.
- Feel free to experiment with different flavors. You can add other fruits or juices, such as strawberries, bananas, oranges, or pineapple.
