Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh honeydew melon, cubed (about half a medium melon)
• 2 cups cold water
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
• 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
• 1 tbsp honey or agave syrup, plus more to taste
• 1/8 tsp fine sea salt
• 2 cups ice cubes
• 4 sprigs fresh mint, for garnish

Directions

1. Add the honeydew cubes to a blender along with the cold water, mint leaves, lime juice, honey, and sea salt.
2. Blend on high for about 60 seconds until completely smooth and the mint is fully incorporated.
3. Taste the mixture and add a little more honey if your melon needs a sweetness boost.
4. Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large pitcher, pressing gently with a spoon to extract all the liquid. Discard the pulp.
5. Give the strained agua fresca a good stir, then refrigerate for at least 5 minutes if you prefer it extra cold.
6. Fill four tall glasses with ice and pour the agua fresca over top, leaving a little room at the top.
7. Garnish each glass with a fresh mint sprig and serve immediately.
