Spa Pop

Perfect Summer Treat! I love the sweet and tart blend of the citrus. The cucumber adds a layer of cool refreshment to the mix. It is a perfect treat for a hot summer day.

Lemonade Cucumber Spa Pop
ingredients
  • 1 cup julienned seedless Cucumber
  • 1 fresh squeezed Lemon, remove any seeds
  • 1 fresh squeezed Lime
  • 2 cups cold Water
  • Natural Sweetener added to taste. (I used honey)
procedure
  1. Slice lemon in half and squeeze it over a strainer into 2 cups of cold water. Sweeten lemon water to taste with your favorite sweetener.
  2. Fill popsicle molds 2/3 with lemonade. Freeze uncovered for about 1 hour. Take pops out of freezer. Scrape and stir any ice crystals that have formed.
  3. Add a spoonful of the julienned cucumber to the pop molds.
  4. With a popsicle stick or a butter knife, press the cucumber into the mixture so it is evenly distributed.
  5. Add your popsicle sticks, freeze pops for another 3-4 hours until solid.
