  • 1 honeydew, peeled and coarsely chopped
  • 12

Method

Combine the cucumbers, honeydew, and mint in a blender. Add ½ cup of water and purée until smooth. Strain the juice of seeds into a very large pitcher. Add the lime juice, zest, sugar, and 2 quarts of water. Stir to dissolve the sugar and chill thoroughly before serving.
