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.
