Fauxjito Popsicles

Ingredients
  • 1 can coconut water
  • 1 lime, large
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 sprigs fresh peppermint
  • or 3 drops peppermint essential oil
Directions
  1. You can either add mint infused water to flavor your popsicle or a pure therapeutic quality peppermint essential oil to your popsicles. If you wish to use fresh mint simply bring your ½ cup of water to a boil, add peppermint sprigs, remove from heat and allow to steep for 5 minutes.
  2. Squeeze lime well to get all the juice you can from it- heat in microwave for 25 seconds then roll firmly on the counter. This will help release every bit of juice from the lime.
  3. Stir together lime juice, coconut water, honey, and infused mint water together until well mixed . You can also substitute a couple drops of your favorite trusted therapeutic grade mint essential oil in place of fresh leaves.
  4. Pour into popsicle molds, at this point I like to add a small wedge of lime and 1 mint leaf to make it pretty and infuse a bit more flavor, leave them large so they are easy to remove as the popsicle is eaten.
  5. Freeze until solid.
