  2. Combine the cantaloupe, water, rice milk, cinnamon, sugar, and lime juice in a high-powered blender.
  3. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. This may take a few minutes depending on your blender.
  4. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher to remove any solids.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and chill thoroughly.
  6. Serve over ice. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and a lime wedge, if desired.
