Summer specials

A slice of chilled melons is one of the most refreshing experiences imaginable in summer. Watermelons can be sliced and eaten as such or as small cubes or scoops or can be added in the fruit salads that will not only add to the taste but make it more colourful and attractive.

Chilled watermelon juice is very refreshing during summer. Squeeze a lemon in it for varied taste. Muskmelons are also best eaten raw, on their own or as a fruit salad. They should always be chilled before serving. A pinch of salt, pepper, and ginger enhances the flavour and taste. Scoops of muskmelon served with ice cream are very delicious to eat.

Another combination of musk melon is with coconut milk which gives a bit of fat and other nutritious elements which makes a soothening drink in summer. For the simples+t and pretty dessert scoop out balls of different coloured melon flesh, of white, orange and red and pile into a glass bowl and serve chilled with lemon juice and mint leaves. Melons can make very good refreshing sorbets, mousses, juices, ice creams, and jams.
