Watermelon & Rose Water Ice Lollies

Salam Alaikum sisters / Hello everyone,

So this isn't baking but i'm sure you can figure anything sweet i like!

Ice lollies are so quick to make (minus the freezing time) that you will wonder why on earth you haven't been making ice lollies before, I know i felt like that too.

Watermelon Rose Water Ice Lollies

You will need: Ice lolly mold, Blender or Food Processor

Ingredients

1/3 Watermelon, diced
3/4 tsp Rose Water

Method

1. Blend watermelon including the seeds but not the green skin, until smooth. Add rose water and blend for another few seconds to distribute rose water evenly.


2. Fill  ice lolly mold, leaving the smallest gap at the top of each and then pop on your lolly sticks and place in the freezer until frozen, mine took 10-12 hours.
