½ cup packed mint leaves (about 20 large leaves) and the stems plus another half dozen leaves
⅓ cup lime juice
½ cup soda water or just regular tap water
Instructions
Make the mint simple syrup by combining the ½ cup water and sugar in a sauce pan and heating till the sugar is dissolved. Add 20 mint leaves and the stems and remove from heat and let the syrup sit till cool. Strain the liquid and discard the mint.
Add the strained syrup and all the other ingredients in a blender. Pour in molds. Freeze for 30 min and insert popsicle sticks. Let freeze completely - about 5 hours. Run molds under warm water to remove the ice pops.
