Misty Melon Kooler!

Get your sunglasses back on kiddies....The dog days of summer are here and as of today...the heat is coming back ,after a week of relatively comfortable weather. I can't do anything about the heat (Except retreat to my air conditioned rooms) but I do have a nice cool summer drink to help with that!

It's called a Misty Melon Cooler... I'd advise you to have this ready before the hot weather gets back...so that you can drink it right away!

Ingredients:

2 cups diced very ripe cantaloupe

2 cups diced very ripe honey dew melons

1 cup of diced mango (optional)
1 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons sugar
Vanilla ice cream

Frozen yogurt (Optional)

Directions ;

1. Place the melon chunks on a plate and place it in the freezer until the fruit is quite firm but not frozen solid, about 20 to 30 minutes.

2. In a blender, puree the melon chunks with the orange juice and sugar until the mixture is smooth. Add 4 or 5 big scoops of ice cream or frozen yogurt and blend the mixture for another minute or so.

3. Divide the cooler among four chilled glasses and serve. Makes four 8-ounce servings.

Enjoy!

(P.S. For the grown and sexy- Yes you can mix alcohol in with this if you just have to, but do you have to? I'm just asking? This is good by itself.
