1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
3 or 4 tablespoons simple syrup, recipe follows
14 wooden ice pop sticks

Directions

In a blender, combine the raspberries and the mint. Puree until combined. Add the lemon juice and 3 tablespoons of the simple syrup. Blend to combine. Taste the mixture and add the remaining 1 tablespoon simple syrup if you like. Spoon the mixture into an ice cube tray and freeze for approximately 30 minutes, or until partially frozen. Insert the wooden sticks and return trays to the freezer for another 3 to 5 hours.

Simple Syrup:

In a saucepan, combine water and sugar over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved. Take pan off heat and cool the syrup. Any extra cooled syrup can be saved in an airtight container.

WOW!!!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

These were awesome!! I used strawberries instead of raspberries though. I liked them becuz they are a simple desset. I served... them with whipped cream and my family loved them. They are great to give to my kids becuz they think they are popsicles and as a bonus I know what is in them.Read more

Easy for a homemade popcicle, but it was a little too tart for me. Might try with frozen strawberries next time.
