This is a DELICIOUS drink! I had to use sweetmelon as a substitute for the cantaloupe since I couldn't get a cantaloupe here when I went shopping .I served this wonderful and simple beverage at Iftaar(breaking of the Ramadan fast) today and it was loved by everybody! The measurements stated here made 6 cups for me and not 1-2 cups as has been mentioned in the recipe. Thank you indeed VERY VERY MUCH for a simple, refreshing, healthy and wonderful sherbet that I am going to be making alot from now on!
