Ingredients
Yield: 12 servings
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves, packed
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup rum (optional)
- 1 cup fresh lime juice
- 5-6 kiwi, peeled
Method
In a medium saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil over medium-a hot burner, stirring constantly. Lower heat to medium-low, and add mint leaves. Let let it bubble gently for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then strain out mint leaves, and pour the strained syrup into a blender. Tip in the rum, fresh lime juice, and about 4 whole kiwis, and pulse until blended. (If you would like, you can strain the mixture again to remove the kiwi seeds, but it’s up to you!)
Tip the mixture into small Dixie cups, and freeze for an hour (or more) until the top of the popsicles are frozen. Then slice the remaining kiwis to make thin coins, and use a knife to make a small slit in the center of each kiwi. Insert a popsicle stick into the slit, and then place the kiwis on top of each popsicle, pressing down just a little bit to be sure that it (just barely) sinks into the popsicle. Freeze until completely frozen.
