Ingredients
- 1 whole cantaloupe melon
- 1 whole honeydew melon
- 6 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon ginger
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 cubes ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Cut the cantaloupe and honeydew melons in half. Remove the seeds and scoop out the flesh using a spoon or melon baller.
Step 2
In a blender, combine the cantaloupe flesh, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of honey, 0.25 cup of water, and 2 ice cubes. Blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a bowl and rinse the blender.
Step 3
In the cleaned blender, combine the honeydew flesh, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of honey, 0.25 cup of water, and 2 ice cubes. Blend until smooth. Pour into a separate bowl.
Step 4
Taste each melon mixture and adjust sweetness or lime juice according to preference.
Step 5
To create the yin-yang effect, pour the cantaloupe soup into one side of a shallow soup bowl, and simultaneously pour the honeydew soup into the opposite side of the same bowl. Use a spoon to gently guide the boundary between the two soups, forming the yin-yang shape.
Step 6
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a small dollop of the opposite soup for contrast if desired.
Step 7
Serve chilled and enjoy the light, refreshing flavors and stunning presentation.
