Method

Preparing the Melon Sorbet

  1. 1

    Prepare the Melon

    Cut the melon in half, remove the seeds, and scoop the flesh into a blender.

  2. 2

    Blend the Sorbet Mixture

    Add lemon juice, sugar, and water to the blender with the melon. Blend until smooth and well combined.

  3. 3

    Freeze the Mixture

    Pour the blended mixture into a shallow dish and freeze for about 4 hours, or until firm.

  4. 4

    Scrape for Sorbet Texture

    Once frozen, use a fork to scrape the mixture to create a fluffy sorbet texture.

Making the Lemon Marmalade

  1. 5

    Prepare the Lemons

    Wash the lemons thoroughly, then slice them thinly, removing any seeds.

  2. 6

    Cook the Marmalade

    In a pot, combine the sliced lemons, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens.

  3. 7

    Cool and Store

    Remove from heat and let it cool. Store in a jar in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Preparing the Black Rice Shaved Ice

  1. 8

    Cook the Black Rice

    Rinse the black rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the black rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 30-40 minutes until tender.

  2. 9

    Prepare the Shaved Ice

    Once cooked, drain the black rice and let it cool. Use a food processor or a blender to pulse the rice until it resembles shaved ice.

  3. 10

    Serve with Sweetened Condensed Milk

    Drizzle sweetened condensed milk over the black rice shaved ice before serving.
