Grapefruit Thyme Popsicles
These frozen treats combine the sweet and tart flavor of fresh grapefruit with the woodsy aroma of thyme. A simple homemade thyme syrup blends with fresh grapefruit juice and hydrating coconut water to create a refreshing base. Each mold holds a fresh grapefruit segment and a sprig of thyme for a beautiful presentation. They are a perfect cooling snack for warm afternoons or a fun treat to share with kids. The slight bitterness of the citrus balances perfectly with the natural sweetness of maple syrup.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 small bunch thyme, plus 10 extra sprigs

- 1 cup (240 ml) coconut water
- 1 grapefruit, cut into 10 segments
Instructions
