  2. Remove from the heat and stir in the ginger, ¼ cup of the mint, and the salt. Cool to room temperature. Pour the mixture through a fine wire mesh strainer, discarding the solids. Stir in the watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, and remaining 2 tbsp mint.

  3. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Spoon into serving bowls and garnish with fresh mint sprigs (optional).
