I have a blender that will grind the seeds till they are not there. I like to use milk with a little vanila for a melon con leche. and its nice to replace the sugar with real maple surup, honey or agava. you do have to replace the water with ice as you blend, keeps it cool

Nice photos & a great drink!

Not so long ago I posted on this very same topic – except on cocktail uses for horchata, orgeat, &c. Check these variations out if you like.

Cheers!

This sounds like such a refreshing treat... I wish I had had a couple of these drinks during the peak of summer! last blog post: One Perfectly Lit Salad

Very intriguing. I've never heard of this, but I love the idea that it uses the seeds. (And I am quickly becoming a stickler for fresh squeezed lime juice, so I can see how it would be essential here.) last blog post: Garden Cucumber Salad Recipe with Tuna and Sweet Basil

Vij – Thanks! Prepare to spend inordinate amounts of time on your keyboard.
Manggy – Yeah it’s definitely not optional. Gotta take a whiff.
Zita – Melon seeds are pretty subtle tasting. There’s some dried melon seeds, too and a bit more stronger tasting.
Tanna – The seeds actually make a nice difference.. I tried it without and it’s just not the same.
Joelen – One cantaloupe should be enough for two.
Kat – I’m with you on that. Gotta have more than a few cantaloupes so it makes the blender.
Tommi – Picking out random things and learning about it is always fun.
Katie – Thanks!
Pixen – Sounds delicious with green tea. Probably roasted?
Nate – I tried it without the seeds but it’s just not the same. I think horchata needs a starchy thickener of some sort.
Life Chef – Hope you like it!
Caroline – I know exactly what you’re talking about — we had a wooden grater that looked like a .. foot… to make it.
Grace – Glad you found it useful!
Tom – Thanks!
Giz – There’s a lot of uses for it… When dried and toasted it makes a great snack, too. I heard it’s also eaten raw or something.

Wow Jude, I learned something new - not that I'm surprised but who would have thought the seeds of the melon were so packed with goodness. I feel enlightened and I would definitely try this - I love ALL melons and most specifically canteloupe. last blog post: Apple Strudel
