Ingredients
- 2 lbs. ripe honeydew melon (about ½ medium melon)
- ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 ½ cups water
- Optional: honey or sweetener of your choice (1-2 tablespoons, depending on sweetness)
- Prepare the Honeydew: Peel the honeydew melon, remove the seeds, and cut it into cubes suitable for blending.
- Puree: Place the honeydew cubes into a blender and puree until smooth. You should have about 2 cups of honeydew puree.
- Mix Ingredients: Pour the honeydew puree into a large pitcher. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice and 2 ½ cups of water. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Sweeten if Needed: Taste your lemonade and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey or your preferred sweetener if the honeydew is not sweet enough. Stir again until fully incorporated.
- Strain (Optional): For a smoother lemonade, strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove any pulp.
- Serve: Pour the honeydew lemonade into glasses filled with ice and serve immediately for a cool, refreshing beverage.
Notes
- Choose very ripe honeydew melon for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- If honeydew is very sweet, additional sweetener may not be necessary.
- Straining the lemonade is optional but results in a smoother texture.
- Serve chilled over ice for best refreshment.
- This lemonade can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
