BethThese look so refreshing! I love that combination of lemon and fresh mint. These are perfect for the summer.
StephanieIt was so hot (unseasonably warm) at my wedding that I would have easily welcomed a popsicle! And since they have almost no color, they shouldn’t stain if they spill. The hardest thing would be keeping them frozen until serving I think.
AlitaI’m gonna enjoy this homemade lemon popsicle. It is light and refreshing and bursting with fresh lemon flavor.
