hestia8 So for once I actually followed a recipe without faffing with it... haven't had these yet but will be having them tomorrow and hopefully they will be as good as I hope.
Minted mojito ice pops
makes 6 (depending on the size of your ice lolly moulds)
Ready in about 15 minutes, 10-12 hours' freezing time
6 large limes
Large handful fresh mint
3 tbsp artificial sweetener
2 tbsp white rum
300 ml soda water, chilled
1. Finely grate the zest of 2 of the limes and put into a jub. Squeeze the juice of those two limes plus three more into the jug. Thinly slice the remaining line and set aside.
2. Add the mint leaves, sweetener and rum to the jug, and, using a thick wooden spoon or mallet, muddle all the contents together until well combined. Add the soda water and stir well.
3. Pour the mixture into 6 x 80 ml ice lolly moulds (think mine must have been slightly smaller as I got 7 out of this mixture). Insert ice lolly stick and freeze for 10-12 hours or until firm.
1/2 syn each
I'll report back tomorrow on how they taste :D
ETA: THEY'RE AMAZING. SERIOUSLY. They might be a little sharp for some tastes (you could just up the sweetener), but oh my GOD. I somehow need to work out space in my freezer so I can make these again asap.
