The hot and dry weather nowadays makes me want to drink lots and lots of cold water all the time. I loved to eat something cold to cool down. I saw this picture of an inviting lemonade cucumber pop and thought to myself that I just have to make it. So I searched for the recipe. Here it is. Perhaps you too might want to give it a try.
Lemonade Cucumber Spa Pops
INGREDIENTS
(makes 3 cups of popsicle mix)
1 cup julienned seedless Cucumber
1 fresh squeezed Lemon, remove any seeds
2 cups cold Water
Natural Sweetener added to taste: use your favorite…Stevia. Maple Syrup, Honey, Xylitol, etc.
METHOD
Slice lemon in half and squeeze it over a strainer into 2 cups of cold water. Sweeten lemon water to taste with your favorite sweetener. Fill popsicle molds 2/3 with lemonade. Freeze uncovered for about 1 hour. Take pops out of freezer. Scrape and stir any ice crystals that have formed. Add a spoonful of the julienned cucumber to the pop molds. Be sure to leave a tiny bit of room at the top of your popsicle mold so they don’t overflow when you add the stick. With a popsicle stick or a butter knife, press the cucumber into the mixture so it is evenly distributed. Add your popsicle sticks, freeze pops for another 3-4 hours until solid.
