This recipe of Cantaloupe juice is double refreshment for summer, with added mint. The flavor and the color are the highlights of this recipe.
Whenever I prepare Cantaloupe Juice, I always speak about my Dad. My dad becomes a sincere chef by seeing this firm fruit. It's love to watch him as a chef making this juice like a big ceremony.
He just sits in the center of the living room with the fruit of course and asks everyone in our family to help him out, calls my brothers to bring knives, calls me to bring plates, calls my mom to bring glasses, ice cubes... everyone will stand on their toes till he completes this elaborate ceremony.
My brothers scare a little, as they have to be at the back of him till the entire process leaving their evening playtime. But sure we will be gifted with delicious delights at the end. Now, my nieces took my role in my absence, enjoying the same affection from my Dad.
In my opinion, cantaloupes are loaded with flavor and color but slightly lacking in sweetness. So, definitely, it needs little more sugar than any other fruits. I have also added mint to enhance its deliciousness.
