Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water, plus more for pitcher
1 medium cantaloupe
optional: large splash vanilla extract
optional: evaporated milk

Steps:

  • 1. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water over high heat. Once the water comes to a boil, reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring often, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.

  • 4. Serve chilled or with crushed ice.
