Preparation time: 30 minutes
Serves : 6
Ingredients
- ¼ honeydew melon, peeled
- 2 pink grapefruits
- 2 white grapefruits
- 4 oranges
- Grated zest from ½ lime
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) sugar (optional)
- Mint leaves, for decorating
Method
- With a peeler, make melon shavings. Cut into halves as needed. Set aside.
- Peel the grapefruits and oranges to bare the flesh. To do this, cut the fruit at both ends. Place the fruit on a board. Cut the peel as closely as possible to the flesh. The white membrane must be completely removed. Slide the blade of a knife between each of the membranes so as to lift the supremes . Work over a bowl to collect all the juice.
- Put the citrus fruit in a bowl. Add the melon, the zest and the sugar. Stir carefully. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Separate into 6 stem glasses. Decorate with mint leaves.
