Summer is officially here. Last weekend marked my first pool dive and this week the temperatures reached 34°C. My diet, these last couple of days, consisted of cheese, tomatoes, fruits and juices. And popsicles for dessert. I never tried making popsicles at home, but this recipe I found on Love and Olive Oil sounds delicious!
Tequila Watermelon Popsicles
Yield: 6 popsicles
Ingredients:
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup watermelon juice (from about 1/2 a small watermelon)
1 lime, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons tequila
Directions:
Combine water and sugar in a microwave safe container or glass measuring cup. Heat on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute, and stir until sugar is dissolved and mixture is clear. Set aside to cool.
To make watermelon juice, roughly chop watermelon. You’ll need about 3 cups of chopped melon to produce about a cup of juice. Run melon through a food mill (if you have one), or crush and then strain through a fine mesh sieve.
Combine watermelon juice, sugar syrup, lime juice and zest, and tequila in a small bowl or pitcher. Pour into popsicle molds. Insert sticks and freeze until solid.
Now I need to get myself popsicle molds and I’m all set!
What’s your go to desert for hot summer days?
