I got a beautiful bright yellow Casaba melon another day from the market thinking that this melon gotta be really sweet because of its look, I was wrong! This melon didn’t have much flavor as other melons do. It tasted slightly sweet but very juicy and soft. So, I decided to make a cool drink to cool down my disappointment for this melon. After had a big tall glass of this drink, I was so ready to make my Lemon Tart for the next post. Oh one thing, you can absolutely use other kinds of melon to make this drink, just follow your imagination!
Melon-lemon-melon-lemon-melon-lemon-melon-lemon-melon… Can you say it really fast? ^_^
What you
need:
2/3 cup
fresh squeeze lemon juice
2/3 cup
simple ginger syrup (recipe below)
2 cups
filtered water
2 cups melon
cut into small chunks
A handful of
mint leaves
2 cups
frozen melon balls
Simple ginger
syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
6-7 thinly
slices of fresh ginger
: Heat
water, sugar, and ginger slices until the sugar is dissolved. Leave the ginger to infuse in the syrup and
let it cool down before using.
How to:
1. Use a
melon baller by pressing down firmly to dig into the melon and then twist to
make a circle and scoop out the melon balls.
Freeze the melon balls until they are frozen. The frozen melon balls will be used in place
of ice cubes and make the drink looks pretty!
2. Blend
everything in the blender, except for frozen melon balls, and blend until
everything comes together smoothly, about 50 seconds or 1 minute. Strain the liquid using fine sieve, discard
the pulps, and chill. Serve with a few
frozen melon balls and mint leaf for garnish.
Enjoy and Stay Cool!
