4 cups (1 litre) honeydew melon balls

Mint Syrup

1 cup (250 ml) sugar

1 cup (250 ml) chopped fresh mint

Preparation

In a saucepan, heat the sugar and water until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat, add the mint and let steep for about 5 minutes. Taste the syrup and let steep a few minutes longer, if desired. Strain through a sieve to remove the mint. Cool completely. Divide the melon among pretty dessert cups. Drizzle with mint syrup.

Note from Ricardo

To prepare the melon balls, use a melon baller or cut the melon into even cubes.
