Ingredients
Scale
Main 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 all of the ingredients—honeydew, cucumber, lime juice and zest, mint, salt, and water—into a high-speed blender. Blend on medium-high speed for about 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy and smooth.
- Strain and store: Pour the blended mixture through a nut milk bag or a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to strain out the pulp and achieve a smooth liquid. Transfer the strained melon cooler into a glass jar or container, and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to keep it fresh and chilled.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of water to make the cooler more diluted or concentrated according to your taste.
- Using a nut milk bag will yield a smoother texture by removing finer pulp compared to a sieve.
- Add ice cubes before serving for an extra chilled refreshment.
- For a sweeter option, add a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup before blending.
- Keep refrigerated and consume within 3 days for best flavor and freshness.
