       1  cup           sugar
       1  cup           water
       1  small         honeydew melon -- peeled, seeded and cut into 1- to 2-inch cubes
     1/3  cup           mint, lightly chopped
     1/2  cup           lime juice
       2  tbsp          lime zest
       2  tbsp          champagne vinegar


In a 2-quart saucepan bring the sugar and water to a boil, then turn heat down to allow this mixture to simmer for 3-5 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes.
Place the melon, mint and lime juice in a blender and blend thoroughly. For a silky texture, strain through a fine mesh strainer, then add 2 tablespoons of lime zest and vinegar to the strained juice. Combine the simple syrup and the juice. Chill in the fridge for 15-30 minutes and add to the ice cream maker to freeze into sorbet.
