Directions:
- Slice melons by carefully cutting off rinds, leaving melons whole. Cut 1/4-inch-thick slices from one side until nearly at seed cavity.
- Repeat with remaining 3 sides. Stack slices, trim to 2-inch lengths, cut 1/4-inch wide, measure in cup and put in a bowl.
- Combine water and sugar in a saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved, for about 5 minutes.
- Add lemon juice, and remove from heat. When syrup is completely cool, add lemon zest and rum.
- Marinate sliced melons in cool syrup for 30 minutes or more before serving.
- Toss gently, arrange melon slices on lettuce leaf and garnish with mint sprigs.
