Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1/2 medium honeydew, de-seeded and cubed
- 3 Persian cucumbers, roughly chopped
- 2 limes, juiced
- 1 tbsp lime zest (about 1 medium lime)
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Blend everything: Add the honeydew, Persian cucumbers, lime juice and zest, fresh mint leaves, kosher salt, and water into a high-speed blender. Blend on medium-high speed for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is frothy and well combined.
- Strain and store: Pour the blended mixture through a nut milk bag or fine mesh sieve into a large bowl to strain out pulp and seeds, achieving a smooth liquid. Transfer the strained melon cooler into a glass jar and refrigerate. Serve chilled and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Using a high-speed blender ensures the ingredients blend smoothly and become frothy.
- Straining removes pulp for a lighter, more refreshing drink, but you can skip this step if you prefer a thicker texture.
- The cooler can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; stir well before serving as separation may occur.
- Add ice cubes when serving for extra chill.
- For added sweetness, you can mix in a small amount of honey or agave syrup, though the melon should provide natural sweetness.
