Ingredients

8 servings

3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons dried hibiscus flowers
1 inch fresh ginger (peeled + finely chopped or grated for more flavor)
1/4 cup honey (add 1-2 tablespoons more for a sweeter pop)
1/4 cup fresh mint (you can also use basil)
4 -5 cups fresh watermelon
the juice of 1 lemon

Steps

Bring the water to a boil in a medium size pot. Remove from the heat and add the hibiscus flowers, ginger, honey and mint leaves. Cover and let steep for 20 minutes. Strain into a blender and discard the used hibiscus flowers, ginger and mint.
To the blender, add the the watermelon and lemon juice. Blend until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer/sieve or into a bowl lined with cheesecloth. Squeeze out all the juice and discard the watermelon pulp.
Pour the mixture among 8 popsicle molds. Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for 1 hour. Remove and insert popsicle sticks. Return to the freezer and freeze until firm, about 4 hours. To remove the popsicles run the mold under hot water for 10 seconds and then pull the popsicles out of the molds. Store in the freezer.
