Watermelon Mint Sorbetto, Mint Lemonade

While Sarah was visiting with all that came to her reception, and dancing with Jordan

I was drinking cup after cup of the delicious lemon

Mint Lemonade
ice
water
country time lemonade mix
fresh mint,  chopped (4-5 leaves, or to taste)

Fill a blender 2/3 full with ice and water. (NO MORE reports Cheryl...unless you want to clean up a mess!) Add a scoop of lemonade mix and mint.

we didn't have pink, but it's an option.

I checked out a book on gelato and other frozen desserts. 

The first I tried was a Watermelon Mint Sorbet. 

The guys said they would like it without the mint. 

(I even cut the amount of mint the recipes called for in half!)

I loved it! And it reminded me of the lemonade with mint posted above.

I also tried cantaloupe and enjoyed it.

As soon as we are out of rain, and have sunshine again,
 I'd like to try these! The link above includes a video.

Place sliced kiwis and strawberries in popsicle molds. Use knife or the back of a spoon to press kiwi and strawberry slices to the sides of the mold.
