WATERMELON COCONUT AND ROSE POPSICLES
Watermelon Coconut And Rose Popsicles are not only easy to make but a refreshing, cooling, flavourful treat during the hot season. Fresh watermelon, coconut, mint, a bit of ginger and some aromatic rose syrup is all that you need for this summer cooler.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh watermelon juice about 2½ cups of watermelon cubes
- ½ cup fresh coconut shredded
- 8-10 mint leaves
- 2 tbsp rose syrup
- ½ tsp minced fresh ginger optional
Instructions
- Puree the watermelon without any water in a blender. Strain the juice to remove seeds.
- Put the juice back in the blender. Add shredded coconut, mint leaves, rose syrup and ginger.
- Process it for a few seconds.
- Pour the juice into popsicle molds.
- Freeze for 4-6 hours and serve.
Notes
- If you don't like the taste of rose syrup add honey, maple syrup or simple sugar syrup instead.
- If you don't have popsicle molds, use ice cream or small plastic cups. Pour the juice in the cups. Cover with foil. Make a slit in the foil, insert the stick in through it gently.
- Ginger helps to fight tiredness, bad summer microbes, loss of appetite and feeling of heaviness.
- I've made these popsicles adding desiccated coconut and they didn't turn out too exciting. The bite of fresh coconut is what makes these popsicles yummy.
- Spike your popsicles with some vodka, gin, tequila, triple sec, champagne, gin for an adult version.
