🧺 Ingredients:

• 2 cups of cantaloupe or honeydew melon, cubed
  (Make sure the melon is ripe and fragrant for maximum flavor.)

• 1 cup of evaporated milk
  (Adds richness and a smooth, creamy texture.)

• 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk (adjust to taste)
  (Brings sweetness and additional creaminess. You can start with less and add more as needed.)

• 3 cups of cold water
  (Divided: 1 cup for blending, 2 cups for diluting the mixture.)

• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  (Adds a lovely aromatic touch and enhances the flavor of the melon.)

• Ice cubes, as much as you like
  (For serving — keeps the drink extra refreshing.)

🥣 Instructions:

1. Prepare and blend the melon:

Start by cutting the melon into chunks and removing the seeds. Place 2 cups of melon cubes into a blender along with 1 cup of cold water.
Blend on high speed for about 30–60 seconds, or until you have a smooth, juicy purée with no large chunks.

2. Add the creamy ingredients:

To the melon mixture in the blender, add 1 cup of evaporated milk, 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Blend again until the mixture is silky smooth and everything is well combined.

🔄 Tip: If you’re unsure about the sweetness level, start with ¾ cup of condensed milk, blend, taste, and then adjust to your liking.

3. Dilute and chill the drink:

Pour the blended melon mixture into a large pitcher or jug. Add the remaining 2 cups of cold water and stir well. This helps lighten the mixture and balances the creaminess with a refreshing texture.
Taste test — if it’s too sweet, add more water. If you want it richer, a splash of extra evaporated milk does the trick.

4. Serve over ice:

Fill glasses with plenty of ice, then pour in the creamy melon agua fresca.
Serve immediately and enjoy it ice-cold, preferably with a spoon or a wide straw to savor every drop.

🌟 Optional Variations:

• Make it lighter: Use low-fat or plant-based versions of the milks for a healthier alternative.

• Add a twist: Blend in a bit of fresh mint or lime juice for a more refreshing, tangy kick.

• Serve as a dessert: Pour into small cups and freeze for a slushy-like treat, or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

📝 Notes:

• This recipe makes about 5–6 cups of creamy agua fresca.
