ayurvedic perspective
Summer heat makes your heart beat fast & heavy. With so much overheated blood, you'll notice the tip of your tongue turns red. The excessive blood flow aggravates your liver, and could cause your temper to flare.
Honeydew and cucumber refresh your body in summertime. They cool your blood, soothe your liver and calm your temper. Mint is a perky addition that cools you down by helping you perspire.
preparation
Use a very ripe honeydew for best flavor.1. Slice melon in half. Scoop out seeds. Cut into quarters and remove skin with a knife, keeping all the juices.
2. Chop cucumber and fresh mint.
3. Puree until smooth in a blender.
4. Pour into desired mold, and freeze overnight.
According to the science of traditional food combining , cucumber & melons should not be eaten together. By pureeing in a blender, the qualities of the melon and cucumber are fused into a digestible compound.
