Recipe

Boil tapioca pearls in boiling water for about 5 minutes until transparent, then rinse under cold water and drain thoroughly.
Cut the melon in half and carefully remove the seeds, trimming the bottom slightly to make it level.
Use a knife to carve the melon's edge into a zigzag pattern, shaping it neatly.
Score the inner melon flesh in a checkerboard pattern to remove or leave as is, depending on preference.
Blend the peeled and seeded jujube flesh with soda in a blender until smooth. Add a little honey if you want extra sweetness.
Pour the blended jujube juice generously into the hollowed-out melon shell.
Finally, evenly distribute the drained tapioca pearls on top of the jujube juice as a garnish.

Cook tapioca pearls, rinse under cold water, and drain.
Halve the melon, scoop out the inside, and shape the edges attractively.
Blend jujube and soda, pour into the melon bowl, and top with tapioca pearls to finish.

Cooking tips

If the jujube or melon isn't sweet enough, add one tablespoon of honey when blending for better flavor.
If tapioca pearls aren't available, they can be omitted. You can also use fresh berries like strawberries or blueberries as a topping instead.
