Usually one medium-large honey dew will yield enough servings for 4 people (each serving being about 6 oz). When you first blend the Xanthan Gum with the honey dew juice it will actually be somewhat cloudy because Xanthan Gum has a tendency to suspend things, including air, which is incorporated during the blending process. Letting it sit overnight will let most of the air escape, making the soup much less cloudy. This process can be speed up by vacuum packing the the juice, which will remove the air.

Whether you serve it immediately or the next day, its delicious either way.

Would love to have you in for dinner. Hope to see you next time you’re in town.

@ Michael,

You’re absolutely right, I got so slammed with the actual execution of the summer menu I had to put the website on the back burner until today. As far as open table goes, I checked into them about 3 months ago and at that time they were just too expensive. The restaurant maxes out at 40 seats, so at this time it just doesn’t make sense to go through open table. Its definitely something that we’ll revisit in the future.

@ Odd Socks,

The froth is skimmed off and discarded. I do this because it affects the clarity of the broth. The recipe for the mint simple syrup can be found by following the Fredrick’s Link in the post.
