Ingredients
- 1 Korean melon (Chamoe)
- 1 cup Plain yogurt
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 2 Tbsp Honey (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by thoroughly washing one fresh Korean melon (chamoe). Cut the melon in half and use a spoon to scoop out and discard the seeds from the center. Next, peel the melon and chop it into bite-sized pieces, about 2-3 cm, suitable for blending.
Step 2
Prepare 1 cup of plain yogurt for a smooth and creamy texture, and 1 cup of ice cubes for a refreshing chill. Using plain (unsweetened) yogurt is recommended to fully appreciate the delicate aroma of the Korean melon. If you don’t have yogurt, you can substitute it with cold water or sparkling water for a different twist.
Step 3
Now it’s time to combine the ingredients in your blender. Add the chopped Korean melon first. Then, pour in the 1 cup of plain yogurt and 1 cup of ice cubes. Finally, add 2 tablespoons of honey to sweeten the smoothie. Feel free to adjust the amount of honey based on the sweetness of your melon and your personal preference.
Step 4
With all the ingredients in the blender, it’s time to blend! Secure the lid tightly and blend until the Korean melon is completely smooth and no chunks remain, and the ice cubes have fully incorporated, creating a velvety consistency. This usually takes about 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 5
Voila! Your homemade Korean melon smoothie is ready, a delightful blend of fragrant seasonal melon, creamy plain yogurt, refreshing ice, and sweet honey. Korean melon is a wonderfully aromatic and crisp fruit, and enjoying it as a smoothie reveals a whole new dimension of flavor. Made with wholesome ingredients, it’s not only delicious but also incredibly healthy – the perfect summer beverage! Since you only need a few simple ingredients, this refreshing Korean melon smoothie is incredibly easy to make at home. Give it a try!
