Equipment

  • Melon Scraper -a citrus zester or fork can be used instead

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium cantaloupe ripe
  • 4 cup cold water
  • ½ cup white granulated sugar adjust to taste
  • 2 cup ice

Instructions
 

  • Slice the cantaloupe in half and scoop out the seeds.
  • Using a melon scraper, citrus zester or a fork, shred the flesh into thin strips. You can find a melon scraper in Asian markets; however, a lemon zester works almost as well, or a fork works in a pinch.
  • Transfer the shredded melon and its juices into a pitcher.
  • Add cold water and sugar, stirring until dissolved.
  • Add in ice and serve chilled.

Notes

For a richer version, swap some water for **evaporated milk**—it gives it a creamy, almost dessert-like taste.
