What’s more summery than a minty mojito or a refreshing popsicle? Both of them together. Enter this recipe, which we’re confident will become as much of a summer must as sandals and sunscreen.
(Please don’t stress. This is all stuff you can easily find at a grocery store.)

3 cups water
Fresh mint leaves
Lime slices
Popsicle molds
