beat the heat: lemon & mint popsicles!

it's too hot in DC not to have some popsicles in the freezer.  try this easy recipe for a refreshing treat! 


purchase an all-natural, slightly sweetened lemonade.  (you can also make your own by squeezing about 10-12 lemons and adding half a cup of simple syrup.  I find the purchased all-natural varieties turn out better.) pour about four cups into your blender.  Add 1-2 cups of chopped fresh mint (at your discretion), 2-3 cups of ice (or as needed), and blend!  pour into popsicle molds and freeze.  (or you can drink the blended concoction, which is also super tasty and refreshing.)


for a pop of color, you can add sliced strawberries to the molds before they go into the freezer. yum!
