Instructions
- To make the wild blueberry puree, add frozen blueberries and hot water to a blender. Blend on high until the berries are completely pureed. Set aside.
- Combine organic cane sugar with water and stir vigorously until dissolved to make the simple syrup. Set aside 1⁄2 cup of the organic cane sugar.
- In a large bowl or jug, add all ingredients together and mix until combined. Add more lime, sugar syrup or herbs to taste.
- Pour ice pop mix into popsicle molds. If you don’t have the special lids/stick holders, freeze the filled molds for 1.5 hours until slightly set — then add the sticks. (If the pops are too frozen after 1.5 hours, leave them out until you can add the sticks.)
