Lemon Mint Popsicles

Lemon Mint Popsicles, a refreshing summer treat made easily at home! Light, fresh, zingy and delicious these minty lemon popsicles – a few minutes of preparation is all it takes 🙂

So I am going to do a mini-marathon on popsicles, before the summer slowly slips away from us. I started with these creamy, delicious Mango Duet Ice Pops last Friday and today, I have a light, refreshing recipe – Lemon Mint Popsicles! Sometimes it is good to have desserts, that can save us from the heat wave and at the same time not be heavy and loaded with calories. That way these lemon mint popsicles are the best fit, very refreshing and quite delicious too!

When I made these lemon mint popsicles, I planned on adding some fresh fruit at the bottom but honestly, the lemony mint mixture was so good by itself that I didn’t want to adulterate the flavor. There cannot be a simpler recipe than this – just make a simple sugar syrup, add ground mint and lemon mixture, strain the juice, pour into popsicle moulds, freeze and enjoy! I am all for homemade summer special recipes especially desserts and ice creams, this one turned out exceptionally well and really different from the usual ice creams or popsicles I make at home! These vanished in no time and I might make another batch again 🙂
