So I have made a few batches of watermelon ice pops by throwing some watermelon in the blender with a little water and even less sugar. They are REALLY good! I was watching some annoying show though (Katie Brown workshop, she nauseates me but I was bored) and she made gross looking herb ice pops with stuff like basil and rosemary BUT that gave me the idea to make mint ice pops since I have lots of mint growing! She made a syrup or 2 parts water 1 part sugar but I used 3 parts water and 1 part sugar and that seemed a little too sweet still but just a little! I cooked the syrup with a bunch of whole mint sprigs and then took them out. When I filled the cups I added finely chopped mint leaves and next time I’ll add a lot more because I loved the frozen mint bits. I like my latest way to keep the sticks upright: tape some chopsticks together tightly and shove the sticks in between! I just have too many kids for those silly plastic pop molds and I have only seen them in my local stores that make 4 at a time. I have some lemon syrup on the go right now so my next pops will be lemon/mint. The kids haven’t tried any of the mint ones yet since I think they are maybe just for me (but they like the watermelon a lot).Oh and Reuben was very interested but I didn’t share!
