Time 25m

Yield 10 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 honeydew melon, cubed
1/2 cup Mint Simple Syrup, recipe follows
Juice of 1/2 lime
Seltzer, for serving, optional
1 cup sugar
3 sprigs fresh mint

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.
  • Agua fresca is a great way to hydrate and cool down on a hot day. It's also a good source of vitamins and minerals.
