Watermelon Limeade Popsicles

Watermelon Limeade Popsicles

After experimenting with watermelon limeade recently, I fell deeply in love with its sweet, tangy summer flavor. I made a huge batch, much of which I poured into popsicle molds to make sure it would stick around for a while. The tartness of the lime seems to come out more in frozen form. That doesn’t scare the kiddos away, though—they nearly killed the whole batch before I even got a taste!
