Making Melon Milk

I can already see you wrinkling your nose and raising one eyebrow (or two) in disgust, because that would be my initial reaction too. It all started a few years back when The Brown Boy  told me that his mom usually puts milk into juices - apple and mango, for example. He also told me that 7UP and milk makes a kickass combo (he was right, I tried it). And so it caught on, and one day I found myself with a half round of Muskmelon (a.k.a cantaloupe) and wondering what to do with it when I remembered our conversation, so I start to blend it with some milk, ice and honey. The result was amazing. It’s slightly sweet, unexpectedly creamy and just magnifficent. Nowadays I make it with the lowest fat milk available in the house to drink [read: eat] whenever I’ve had something big and hefty for the previous night or day (the toad in the hole, in this case), I guess it’s kinda like penance or something.

Oh, and don’t worry about the notion of it being dangerous to eat melon and then to drink milk (or drink milk at the same time)…adverse reactions rarely happen, it’s just another one of those dogmas.

MELON MILK:

[ 1 cup milk + 3/4 cup cantaloupe pieces + 1-2 tablespoons of sugar or honey (or to your taste) + 1/2 cup ice ]

Put everything in the blender and blitz until smooth.

You can strain it, but I never do - the pulps are good for you!

Adjust the amount of sugar or honey to your taste and serve cold.

Enjoy!
