A green recipe from Rachel Ray (August 2008 edition of her magazine). Sounds good, so I am storing it here for safe keeping!
Ingredients:
1 large honeydew melon
1 large cucumber, peeled
2 cups water
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
ice
Directions:
1. Remove rind from honeydew and cut into chunks.
2. Peel cucumber, cut 8 nice slices from the middle to use as garnish and cut the rest of the cucumber into chunks.
3. Using a blender and working in 2 batches, puree the melon, cucumber and water.
4. Strain mixture and discard solids.
5. Whisk sugar and lemon juice into the liquids remaining from melon/cucumber.
6. Taste it and add up to 2 cups more water if it is too concentrated for your liking.
7. Refrigerate until chilled and serve over ice with a floating slice of cucumber as a garnish.
