Total Time: 5 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 1
• 2 -3 chilled cantaloupe, wedges
• ice cube
• 1 dash rose water
• 1 -2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, to taste
• honey or sugar
• 1 thinly sliced lemon wedge
• 1 sprig mint

Recipe

• 1 Blend cantaloupe with several cubes of ice in a blender.
• 2 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.
• 3 Pour into a glass and garnish with fresh mint or very thinly sliced wedge of lemon. Drink up!
• 4 Drink it quickly before the ice melts and dilutes the drink.
