Iced Melon Drink is a refreshing drink for those hot summer days. Very easy to make.

Iced Melon Drink Ingredients:

  • 1 medium size rockmelon (cantaloupe)
  • water
  • sugar
  • cube ice or crashed ice
 
 

You will also need:

  • Melon scrapper (a scraper designed for scrapping melon or coconut)
  • Pitcher
  • Tall drinking glass

How to make iced melon drink :

  1. Cut the melon in half, remove the seeds.
  2. Shred the cantaloupe meat using the melon scrapper on a pitcher.
  3. Mix together the melon shreds, water, ice and sugar.
  4. Stir
  5. Pour into glasses and serve cold.
 

The quantity of water depends on how much melon flavor you want. You can also add a bit of evaporated milk (optional).

Locally called "Sa Malamig" in the Philippines and sold in sari-sari stores or street stands and is ladled into plastic cups. A refreshing drink for those hot summer days.

I adore cantaloupe, and this recipe sounds outrageously delicious!

Can you be more specific about the scraper...what does it look like? Where would I get one?

Hi Sally,

I bought the scraper at the Asian Food Store.

Thanks for the info, mm. I just happen to have a large Asian supermarket up the road. Next trip there, I'll look around for the scraper.

Thanks for the article - Brings back memories ... anyone have any suggestions re where to buy a melon scaper in Sydney (Australia)??

When making this as a child, we used to put the seeds and some of the softer innards removed from the melon (Step 1 above) in a hand-held sieve / strainer with ice. Then pour the water / juice thru the sieve a few times to extract as much juice and flavour as possible .. enhances the flavour a lot from memory!

cheap alternative to scraper...

A fork works just as well.
