2 tbs finely shredded fresh mint, extra
about 1/4 honeydew melon, deseeded, peeled, thinly sliced

Directions:
Combine the water, sugar, mint sprigs and ginger in a medium saucepan and stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and boil, without stirring, for 5 minutes or until syrup thickens slightly. Remove from heat. Remove and discard the ginger and mint sprigs.
