My friend grows the most amazing cantaloupes. after pigging out on most of one i decided to search for a great drink recipe using this sweet fruit. i found this drink from the seattle-post intelligencer. make sure you use only the sweetest cantaloupe you can find.
Steps
In a large bowl or food storage bag , combine the cantaloupe , sugar , lemon juice , mint and basil.
Let the melon macerate in the refrigerator until very soft and juicy , about 2 hours.
