We officially had our first 90-degree day–so ice pops are in order. For something a little different from the run-of-the-mill pops, try out these cooling maple-infused recipes from Runamok Maple co-founder Laura Sorkin.
Guava-Hibiscus Pop
1 cup guava juice
4 tsp Hibiscus-Infused Maple Syrup
Several leaves of fresh mint
Combine the juice, maple and mint in a bowl. Muddle the mint by pressing down on it with the back of a spoon and let it sit for five minutes. Strain out the mint and then pour the mixture into your pop mold. Freeze.
Mango-Makrut Pop
1 cup mango juice
4 tsp Makrut Lime-leaf Infused Maple Syrup
1 tsp lemon juice
Combine all ingredients and freeze in a popsicle mold.
Blueberry-Melon-Lime Pop
2/3 cup diced cantaloupe
2/3 cup fresh blueberries
2 TBSP Makrut Lime-leaf Infused Maple Syrup
Combine all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Since fresh fruit varies in sweetness, taste to see if it needs additional maple syrup. Pour in a pop mold and freeze.
