Ingredients

Servings 4

6 cups diced honeydew, cantaloupe or watermelon
1/4 cup fresh lime juice, plus more to taste
1/2 cup sugar, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, plus sprigs for garnish

Divide among serving glasses and garnish with thyme sprigs. Serve immediately with spoons, or let melt slightly to serve as a drink
