Instruction

  • For rose geranium syrup, bring sugar and 100ml water to the boil in a small saucepan over medium heat, remove from heat, add rose geranium, refrigerate overnight to infuse.
  • Trim a small section of rind from base of watermelon so melon sits level. Remove top third of watermelon with a knife (discard). Remove flesh with a melon baller and place balls in a large bowl, set aside. Cut balls from rockmelon and honeydew, and add to bowl.
