Pipitada (Melon Seed Milk)

Recipe from The Sephardic Cooks (Congregation OR VeShalom Sisterhood)

Directions:

Accummulate seeds from cantaloupe and honey dews. Dry thoroughly for about a week.

When dry, put in a blender or meat grinder until finely ground. Then put the mixture into a cheesecloth, tie up and let soak overnight in a quart of cold water.

Squeeze and dip in a few times until water takes milky color. 

Discard seeds and cheesecloth. Add sugar to the liquid (1 teaspoon per cup) and drops of rose water.

Refrigerate and drink when cool.

*This drink is generally used to break the fast.
