FAQs
Can I use bottled lime juice?
Fresh lime juice is recommended for the best flavor, but bottled can be used if necessary.
How do I know if my kiwis are ripe?
Ripe kiwis should feel slightly soft when gently pressed and have a sweet fragrance.
Can I strain the mixture?
Yes, if you prefer a smoother texture without kiwi seeds, strain the blended mixture before freezing.
Can I use dried mint?
Fresh mint is strongly recommended for the best flavor. Dried mint will not provide the same brightness.
How long do they need to freeze?
At least 4 hours, though overnight freezing ensures they are completely solid.
Are these popsicles very sweet?
They are lightly sweetened. You can adjust the honey or syrup to suit your taste.
Can I double the recipe?
