brown sugar – the addition of brown sugar gives the flavors of a classic mojito without any rum. These popsicles are alcohol-free.
water

fresh mint
Tools
popsicle molds -you’ll need popsicle molds, to make about 10 popsicles
In a medium pot combine the brown sugar and water. Heat just until simmering, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
1/3 cup brown sugar , 1/3 cup water
Add the lime juice and coconut water and stir well.
1/2 cup lime juice , 2 1/2 cups coconut water
Pour into popsicle molds, dividing the chopped mint evenly between them. The mint will float (once turned upside down in the molds).
If you have a lid for your molds, place it on before putting the sticks in. Place the sticks until 1" is protruding. If your molds don't have a lid, cover with a plastic wrap to hold the sticks in place.
Freeze for at least 6 hours.
Remove from molds by gently placing under warm running water for about 10 seconds before trying to remove.
Store the frozen popsicles in a freezer bag for up to a month.
