Did I mention how much I love limes? You may have guessed, considering most of my posts so far have included fresh lime juice. For the first time, we splurged on a bag of limes from Costco and actually finished it without any going bad. We often made limeade with lime juice, simple syrup, and seltzer (2:1:2 ratio). So this time, I decided to try a straight-up lime popsicle with some crushed mint.
Materials:
1c lime juice
1/2c simple syrup
fresh mint, crushed under a mortar and pestle
Methods:
- Combine and let ingredients steep for half an hour
- Then strain mint leaves and pour into popsicle molds
Result:
Appearance: Lovely soft lime color
Texture: Not solid ice! Actually turns slushy when biting into it; not sure why. Perhaps the acidity? But it's fantastic.
Flavor: Holy moly, it is sour.
While the texture is out of this world, it is way too sour to enjoy in a reasonable amount of time. The next batch will be diluted with water and syrup by 50%.
