II Kharbooja Sharbat II

Ingredients:

4 small or 2 large honeydew melons (kharbooja)
1/2 cup strained fresh orange juice
1/4th cup fresh Lemon juice
4 drops Khus essence

Preparation:

If using small melons, slice off the top of each as a lid, if using large melons, cut them into half.
Cut the edges into zigzag pattern. Cut a thin slice off the bottom so that the melon stands upright without tipping. (Take care not to cut through the shell).
Scoop out the seeds and discard. Scoop out the flesh and process in a blender, along with the remaining ingredients, until smooth.
Chill well and serve in the shells, if desired, with reversed lids and a straw.
