Steps:
- Blend cantaloupe with several cubes of ice in a blender.
- Add a dash of rosewater. Rosewater is a delightful ingredient true to its name but it is also a dominating one so use sparingly. Jazz up the flavor by adding 1 tablespoon or more of fresh lemon juice. Mix with a wooden spoon. Sweeten to taste with honey or lemon, sparingly, so as to allow the natural flavor of the cantaloupe to shine through.
- Pour into a glass and garnish with fresh mint or very thinly sliced wedge of lemon. Drink up!
- Drink it quickly before the ice melts and dilutes the drink.
FRESH MINT CANTALOUPE COOLER
This is my favorite new way to enjoy summer cantaloupe. And it's a great way to cool off in summer! Growing mint is rather easy too. We have some in a large pot, and it comes back each year in full force with almost no effort on our part.
