Ingredients: 

1-2 ripe Rockmelon, about 2kg
2/3 cup Seed Tapioca (sago)
1 cup Warm Water
1/2 cup Sugar*
Evaporated Milk

Method:

Add sugar* and warm water together - the amount of sugar required will depend on the sweetness of the melon.
Bring a saucepan of water to the boil. 
Add sago. 
Cook sago for about 10 minutes or until clear in the middle. 
Drain and wash in cold water.
Peel the melon and remove the seeds. 
Cut into small pieces, add water with sugar dissolved in it and blend in the food processor.
Add sago, stir through and keep in the fridge. 
Pour some evaporated milk or cream on the top before serving.

Tips: 

• If you want to keep overnight, it is better to cook and add the sago just before serving.

• If you want to serve very cold add ice chips just before serving.
