Directions
- 1
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and 1/4 cup filtered water; heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is clear, about 2-3 minutes.
- 2
Remove the simple syrup from the heat and allow it to cool completely to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
- 3
On a small, shallow plate, combine 1 tablespoon of kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, mixing well to create the chili-salt rim mixture.

Moisten the rims of 4 serving glasses with a lime wedge, then invert each glass onto the chili-salt mixture, twisting gently to coat evenly.

In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen honeydew melon, cooled simple syrup, fresh lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, fresh mint leaves, and matcha powder (if using).

Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and evenly incorporated, scraping down the sides as needed, about 1-2 minutes.

Add the 4 large ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the ice is fully crushed and the mixture reaches a thick, slushy consistency, about 30-60 seconds.

Taste the slushie and adjust sweetness or spice if desired, adding a touch more sugar or cayenne pepper to achieve your preferred flavor profile.
