How to make kharbhooja sharbat:

• If using small melons, slice off the top of each as a lid, if using large melons, cut them into half.
• Cut the edges into zigzag pattern.
• Cut a thin slice off the bottom so that the melon stands upright without tipping (take care not to cut through the shell).
• Scoop out the seeds and discard.
• Scoop out the flesh and process in a blender, along with the remaining ingredients, until smooth.
• Chill well and serve in the shells, if desired, with reversed lids and a straw.
