Ingredients
  

1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (approximately 4-5 juicy limes)

1 cup pure coconut water

1/2 cup honey or agave syrup (adjust sweetness according to personal preference)

Zest of 2 limes

A pinch of fine sea salt

Fresh mint leaves (optional, for a delightful garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Lime Juice: Begin by squeezing the limes to yield 1 cup of fresh lime juice. To ensure a smooth texture, strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve, discarding any pulp or seeds that may have made their way in.

    Mix Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the freshly squeezed lime juice, coconut water, honey (or agave syrup), lime zest, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix thoroughly using a whisk or a spoon until the honey is completely dissolved and the ingredients are well incorporated.

      Taste Test: Take a small spoonful of the mixture for a taste test. Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or agave syrup as needed. Keep in mind, the final sweetness may become less pronounced once frozen.

        Fill the Molds: Carefully pour the lime mixture into popsicle molds, filling each mold almost to the top but leaving a small gap to allow the popsicles to expand as they freeze. For an added twist, drop a few fresh mint leaves into each mold before filling.

          Insert Sticks: Place the popsicle sticks into the molds, making sure they are vertically centered for even distribution.

            Freeze: Transfer the molds into the freezer. Allow them to freeze for a minimum of 4-6 hours, or until they are completely solid and firm to the touch.

              Unmold and Enjoy: To gently release the popsicles, run warm water over the outside of the molds for a few seconds. Then, gently pull on the sticks to remove the popsicles. Serve immediately for the best experience, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for a cool treat later on.
