How to Make Melon Juice

  1. Scoop out the seeds from one medium cantaloupe or honeydew melon. Add the seeds, pulp, and any remaining gooey melon flesh to a blender.
  2. Add 3 cups (720ml) of water to the blender.
  3. Blend on a low speed for 20 seconds, until well combined.
  4. Refrigerate the mixture overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. The next day, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, discarding the pulp and seeds.
  6. Add sugar or honey to taste (start with 2-4 tablespoons and adjust to your preference).
  7. Serve chilled over ice. Garnish with a melon wedge or fresh mint sprig (optional).
