Method
In a blender, purée 4 cups water, cantaloupe seeds, honey, ginger and vanilla. Work in batches, if necessary.
Place a fine-mesh sieve over a large bowl or pitcher and strain contents of the blender, pressing with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
Discard the remaining solids.
Taste agua fresca and stir in more honey if desired.
Serve over ice.
