Light, juicy and sweet with a clean melon aroma and a fruity tea note in the finish.
Honeydew melon has a high water content and a mild, sweet flavour, so it turns into a juicy, thin smoothie in seconds. Pear gives it more substance and a soft, grainy sweetness. Instead of plain water, cooled fruit tea brings a little acidity and colour depth. There are no dairy products and no added sugar, which keeps the drink light. It suits hot days, a relaxed breakfast or a drink after a walk.
