Directions
To make the ice lolly mix: Grate one organic lemon to remove the zest and juice all the lemons. Rinse and peel the cucumber and roughly chop the peel. Purée the grated lemon zest, lemon juice, water, agave syrup (or rice syrup) and cucumber peel in the blender until smooth.
To prepare the popsicle moulds: Cut thin slices of cucumber and use them to line the popsicle moulds; freeze for 10 minutes.
Pour the ice lolly mix into the moulds and pop a lolly stick into each one. Freeze the popsicles. After 3 or 4 hours, remove the popsicles from the moulds and serve them sprinkled with chopped, freeze-dried berries and dried flowers.
Cool as a cucumber!
