Ingredients

1 medium ripe cantaloupe (muskmelon) (about 6 cups cantaloupe cut into cubes)
1 cup cold water
1 tablespoon maple syrup or as needed

Instructions

Cut the cantaloupe into two halves. Remove the skin and scoop out the seeds using a spoon. Then dice into big chunks.
In a high speed blender, add the diced cantaloupe, maple syrup and water. Blend until smooth.
Strain the pulp using a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. This step is optional (I personally don't strain the pulp as it is full of fiber and nutrients.)
Pour the juice into the serving glasses and garnish with fresh mint. Enjoy!

Notes

Tips For Making The Best Cantaloupe Juice

Ripe Cantaloupe: Always use ripened, juicy, and sweet cantaloupe for the best flavor.
Sweetener: Adjust the amount of sweetener of your choice depending on the sweetness of your cantaloupe.
Strain or Not strain: It's a personal preference. If you like pulpy juice, then do not strain. Otherwise, strain the pulp using a fine-mesh strainer to get a smooth juice.

Variations

Honeydew Melon: You can make honeydew melon juice using the exact same method.
Sparkling Water: Mix the juice with sparkling water for bubbly cantaloupe juice.
Lime Juice: Simply add lime juice to this juice to make refreshing Cantaloupe Agua Fresca.
