Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh honeydew melon chunks
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 34 lemons)
  • 2 tablespoons agave syrup (natural) or organic cane sugar (natural), adjust to taste
  • 2 cups cold water

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 68 fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Honeydew: Peel and deseed the honeydew melon. Chop into chunks suitable for blending to create a fresh and juicy base for the lemonade.
  2. Juice the Lemons: Roll lemons gently on the counter, slice, and squeeze out fresh lemon juice, removing any seeds to ensure a crisp, bright flavor.
  3. Blend the Ingredients: In a blender, combine honeydew chunks, lemon juice, natural sweetener, and cold water. Blend on high speed until completely smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon juice as preferred.
  4. Optional Texture Boost: If a thicker texture is desired, stir in the natural gelling agent and mix thoroughly until fully integrated.
  5. Chill and Serve: Pour the lemonade into a jug or glasses filled with ice cubes. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or lemon slices if desired. Serve immediately for optimal freshness and flavor.

Notes

  • Use ripe honeydew for natural sweetness and minimal added sweetener.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually after blending for perfect taste.
  • Chill honeydew and lemons before blending to enhance refreshment.
  • Always use fresh lemon juice instead of bottled for the best flavor.
  • Blend thoroughly to avoid fibrous texture.
