With August soon coming to a close, I want to hang on to the last moments of summer. This fruity, cool drink is a great way to spruce up an end-of-summer BBQ or picnic.
Ingredients
1 cantaloupe, separate
1 cup water
4 tsp. condensed milk
1 cup crushed ice
1/4 cup mini sago pearls/ tapioca pearls
Instructions
In a small saucepan, boil water. When boiled, add in tapioca pearls, boiled for 10 minutes uncovered, then turned off the heat, covered and let it sit for 15-20 minutes or until the tapioca pearls turned transparent. Drain in a sieve with cold running water. Set aside.
Cut the cantaloupe in chunks for blender and reserved 1/4 (cut into small cubes) to add in later.
In a blender, add in water, chunks cantaloupe and condensed milk. Puree and blend until fine, add in crushed ice and blend until smooth.
Pour mixture into a serving bowl, add in tapioca pearls and cubed cantaloupe. Mix and serve cold.
Keep leftover in the refrigerator.
