PALETA TEST KITCHEN, PART 4



STRAWBERRY MINT ICE POP

INGREDIENTS
1 basket ripe strawberries
1 can strawberry juice
1 cup lemonade
1/2 cup mint
1 lemon

DIRECTIONS
Slice ripe strawberries lengthwise (so that they look like thin hearts). Chop mint extra finely. Put both in a jar. Add the lemonade and refridgerate overnight to let the flavors infuse.

Pour the contents of the jar into a food processor. Add the juice from half a lemon and pulse so that the strawberries remain pulpy. Mix in 1/4 can of strawberry juice. Taste the mix. If it's not very sweet, add sugar until it seems like it's just a bit too sweet. Divide the mixture between cups and freeze. After about 40 minutes, insert popsicle stick and let freeze over night.
