  3. Blend until completely smooth. Add a splash of cold water if needed to achieve desired consistency.
  4. Pour the blended melon puree into a separate large bowl.
  5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the remaining melon mixture.
  6. Combine the pureed melon in the large bowl. Taste and adjust sweetness and cinnamon to your preference, adding more honey or cinnamon as needed.

  8. Serve chilled. Garnish with fresh mint or a lime wedge (optional).
