HOW TO MAKE WATERMELON POPSICLES

-6 cups watermelon (seedless, cut into chunks) -1/4 cup lime juice -1/4 cup mint syrup -1/2 cup sugar -1/2 cup fresh mint leaves -1/2 cup water

In a saucepan, combine mint, sugar & water. Cook over medium, stirring occasionally, until dissolved and mixture begins to boil. Allow to boil an additional minute then remove from heat. Allow to steep with mint leaves still in the pan for about 30 minutes.

Place watermelon in a blender and blend until it becomes liquid. Strain the mint syrup to remove leaves.

In a spouted bowl, combine watermelon liquid, lime juice, and 1/4 cup of mint syrup. Taste and adjust if necessary. Pour the mixture into each mold.

Place popsicle sticks, cover and freeze for 6 hours or overnight. To remove popsicles, run under warm water and gently wiggle them out.
