Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium ripe cantaloupe
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1 cup cold water
- 1.5 cups ice cubes
- 6 leaves mint leaves
- 4 leaves extra mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Start by cutting the cantaloupe in half and scooping out the seeds with a spoon.
Using a sharp knife, remove the rind and cut the cantaloupe flesh into chunks.
Place the cantaloupe chunks into a blender.
Add lime juice, honey (if desired for extra sweetness), and cold water to the blender.
Throw in the 6 mint leaves for a refreshing flavor.
Blend on high speed until completely smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the mixture is chilled and slushy.
Optional: Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth if you prefer a smoother texture.
Pour the Cantaloupe Cooler into glasses filled with the remaining ice cubes.
Garnish with extra mint leaves and serve immediately.
