During the summertime I consume a lot of honeydew, watermelon and cantaloupe. Here in the northeast they’re in-season and affordable during this time of the year. The best place to purchase them in our area happens to be at one of our local farmer’s markets – they’re fresher and most of the time cheaper than buying them at the local grocery store!

Honeydew Granita with Lemon Recipe

3/4 cup plus 1/2 cup water, divided
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 lemon-flavored tea bags
1 medium honeydew, peeled and cubed
2 and 1/2 cups seltzer

Combine sugar and three-quarters of a cup of water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook until the sugar dissolves, about four minutes.

Reduce heat and add tea bags. Let simmer on a low flame, allowing the tea bags to steep for 15 minutes. Discard tea bags.

Place cubed honeydew in a blender along with the remaining half cup of water. Blend well. Push blended honeydew through a sieve into a 9×13-inch pan.

Add the lemon-flavored syrup into the pan along with honeydew. Mix well.

Freeze for at least eight hours. When ready to serve, scrape iced honeydew with a fork until you have small ice crystals. Place one cup of honeydew crystals into a tall glass and top with half a cup of seltzer.
