With this heat you want cool things, right? Today we show you how to make a melon soup with coconut milk. A cold dessert, delicious and very easy.
In Spain there are several types of melon. Perhaps the best known is Piel de Sapo but we have made today's recipe with cantaloupe melon, another lesser known but very aromatic variety.
As a base we have used coconut milk flavored with vanilla but, if you want, you can use cinnamon, lemon or tonka bean to give it a very special touch.
This melon soup with coconut milk can also be used to prepare a fresh and original snack.

Ingredients
- 400 g coconut milk
- 100 g of sugar
- 1 cantaloupe melon
- 1 vanilla bean
- Minced lime or mint zest
Preparation
The first thing we will do is, as always, prepare all the ingredients.
We put the coconut milk in a pot with the sugar. With a sharp knife we open the vanilla pod lengthwise and remove the seeds that we will incorporate into the milk. We also add the pod to give it more flavor. We heat up and let boil for 2 minutes. We remove from the fire and leave infuse for 20 minutes.
Then we strain the flavored milk through a strainer. We introduce the milk in the fridge for 1 hour.
With the help of a Parisian spoon or ball scooper we make melon balls.
We wash, dry and[b] grate the lime.
To serve, we put in a bowl or deep plate, a bottom of flavored cold milk and then the melon balls. Sprinkle[/b] the lime zest over the balls.
