Strawberry And Cantaloupe Agua Fresca With Thyme Recipe

• 1 small bunch (about 8 sprigs) fresh thyme
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 1/2 cups cubed cantaloupe (about half of one medium or 1 pound 6 ounces with skin)
• 1 1/2 cups quartered strawberries (about 8 ounces whole strawberries)
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice from 1 lemon
• Garnish: Sliced strawberries (optional)

1. Combine thyme sprigs, water, and sugar in a small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove thyme and refrigerate until cool.
2. Combine the thyme syrup, strawberries, cantaloupe, and lemon juice in a blender and blend on high speed until smooth, about 20 seconds. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with strawberry slice if desired.
