1 cup ice cubes

1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)

2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon mint extract (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Honeydew: Start by cutting the honeydew melon in half and removing the seeds. Scoop out the flesh and cut it into cubes. It’s best to use ripe honeydew melon for optimal sweetness.

Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the honeydew melon cubes, ice cubes, fresh lime juice, honey or agave syrup, and mint extract (if using).

Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and slushy. If you prefer a finer texture, blend a little longer. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more honey or agave syrup.

Serve Immediately: Pour the honeydew melon slush into chilled glasses. If desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves and a slice of lime on the rim of each glass.

Enjoy: Serve with a straw or spoon, and enjoy your refreshing honeydew slush on a hot day!
