For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of lime or lemon juice to the mixture before freezing. Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of the cantaloupe. To prevent the formation of large ice crystals, occasionally stir the mixture during the initial freezing process. If using plastic bags, secure the ends tightly with rubber bands or knots to prevent leakage. For a creamier texture, try using whole milk instead of water.
