Ingredients
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons water
- juice of two limes
- zest of one lime
- 3 cups cucumber, seeded and chopped (about 3 medium)
- 3 cups watermelon, seeded and chopped (about 1/4 medium)
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Bring the water, lime juice and zest, and honey to a simmer in a small saucepan. Cook until honey is completely dissolved. Turn off the heat and set aside in a measuring cup while you prepare the cucumber and watermelon. | |
| Step 2 | |
| Place the chopped cucumbers in a blender with half of the honey/water/lime mixture. Puree to a smooth consistency and pour into a separate container. Rinse out the blender and repeat this step with the watermelon. | |
| Step 3 | |
| Fill the ice pop containers 1/4 of the way with one of the mixtures-you can do them all the same or alternate. Freeze for two hours then repeat with the other mixture. At this point you can place the popsicle stick in. Freeze for another 2 hours then make a third layer, then freeze another two hours and make a fourth layer. Freeze until solid-about four more hours-then serve. | |
