Watermelon Hibiscus Mint Popsicles
Refresh and invigorate with these vibrant watermelon popsicles, infused with floral hibiscus and cooling mint for a perfectly sweet summer treat.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons dried hibiscus flowers
- 1 inch fresh ginger (peeled + finely chopped or grated for more flavor)
- 1/4 cup honey (add 1-2 tablespoons more for a sweeter pop)
- 1/4 cup fresh mint
- 4-5 cups fresh watermelon
- the juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Bring water to a boil. Add hibiscus, ginger, honey, and mint. Cover and steep for 20 minutes. Strain into a blender, discarding solids.
- Add watermelon and lemon juice to the blender. Blend until smooth.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing to extract all juice. Discard pulp.
- Pour the liquid into popsicle molds, filling them about 3/4 full.
- Freeze for 1 hour, then insert popsicle sticks. Freeze completely (approx. 4 hours).
- To unmold, run molds under hot water for 10 seconds, then gently pull out popsicles.
Notes
- For a sweeter pop, add an extra 1-2 tablespoons of honey.
- For a stronger ginger flavor, grate the ginger instead of chopping it finely.
- Use basil instead of mint for a different herbal note.
- If you don't have popsicle molds, small paper cups work well. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
