🍉 2 tbsp sweetened condensed milk

2️⃣ Blend until smooth and ice is mostly broken down (once the blender gets quiet.)

Commentary:

I absolutely love watermelon season, and whenever summer comes around, I always think about the Taiwanese watermelon milk my dad used to make for us when we were growing up. I never thought about putting watermelon and milk together, but it’s a really common thing to blend different fruits and milk together in Taiwan!

It’s definitely recommended to use seedless watermelon for this drink—the white seeds aren’t too bad to find in the drink if they’re blended up but the black seeds aren’t too pleasant 😅 I like adding 2 tablespoons of condensed milk but if you don’t have it, you can add granulated sugar instead. And you can add more or less sugar depending on your taste!
