- 4 cups fresh watermelon, cubed and chilled
- 2 cups cold milk (non-alcoholic, halal if needed)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

Instructions
- Freeze watermelon chunks in a shallow container for at least 2 hours until solid.
- In a blender, add frozen watermelon, cold milk, ice, sugar, and vanilla extract.

- Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Pour evenly into 2 glasses and serve immediately with optional fresh mint garnish.
Notes
Pre-chilling the milkmelon helps achieve a thicker texture.
Use cold milk straight from the refrigerator to maintain a rich consistency.
Adjust watermelon quantity based on juiciness—more flesh for thicker shakes.
For halal alternatives, use plant-based milk and ensure vanilla extract is non-alcoholic.
Optional additions: 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt for extra creaminess or 1/2 cup light green tea for a sparkling twist (non-alcoholic).
