Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Watermelon Pops
- For extra flavor, muddle the mint leaves slightly before adding them to the honey-mint mixture.
- If your watermelon is particularly juicy, you may want to let the cubed watermelon sit in a colander for 10-15 minutes to drain excess liquid before assembling the pops. This will prevent them from becoming too watery.
- Feel free to experiment with other fruits and herbs! Try adding some chopped strawberries, blueberries, or basil for a twist.
- To easily remove the pops from the molds, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds before attempting to release them.
