Ingredients
To prepare 6 popsicles you need the following ingredients:
- 1 popsicle mold
- 2 lemons (preferably organic)
- 2 bouquets of elderberry flowers
- a handful of lemon balm leaves
- a handful of lemon verbena leaves
- 4/6 tablespoons of maple syrup
- 1 glass jar or a teapot
- Half a liter of boiling water
Preparation
Squeeze the two lemons (also chopping the pulp) and place all the ingredients in a glass jar or teapot. Add half a liter of boiling water and leave to infuse for 5 hours or overnight. Now you just have to filter and pour the liquid with the intoxicating scent into the molds and place them in the freezer for a few hours.
Of course, the amount of flowers to use is to your liking. But the more you use, the more your popsicles will look good. If you don't have lemon balm and verbena leaves available, don't worry. They will come equally delicious. As an alternative to maple syrup, you can opt for a little honey, sugar (even better if cane) or stevia.
You can be sure of one thing: on hot summer days these popsicles will literally be snapped up!
