How to Make Agua De Meln

  1. Combine 4 cups cold water, 4 cups cubed cantaloupe, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice in a blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed, adding more sugar if desired.
  3. Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth (optional, for a smoother drink) over a pitcher.
  4. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer, pressing gently on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the drink to chill thoroughly.
  6. Serve chilled over ice. Garnish with fresh cantaloupe slices or balls for an elegant touch.
