Slice the cantaloupe into half. Remove all the seeds.

Using a melon baller or special cantaloupe scraper (I got mine from the Philippines), scrape the cantaloupe and place in a large bowl. Set aside.

In a large pitcher, combine water, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar is diluted. Add the shredded cantaloupe. Stir again.

Put lots of ice. Serve.
