A very simple recipe, that yields sublime results. Perfect for a hot summer day.

1 cantaloupe

juice of 1/2 lemon

1/4 – 1/3 cup honey, depending on sweetness of melon

1/2 cup rice milk

Cut open melon.  Scrape out seeds and scoop out flesh.   Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

Pour into Popsicle molds and freeze until solid, about 5 hours.   (If you don’t have a Popsicle mold, you can use an ice-cube tray with toothpicks for handles.)  Alternatively, pour into a shallow pan and freeze for one hour, until slushy, and then scrape with a fork to fluff and allow to freeze again to create a granita.
