White Wine Popsicles! These are the most refreshing summer treat.
My dry white wine pick from Total Wine is Les Parcelles Marc Dupas Sauvignon Blanc
White Wine Popsicles
Equipment
- Popsicle Molds
- Popsicle Sticks
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups white wine (equal to one 750 mL bottle)
- 2 sprigs thyme
- Peel of 1 lemon
- Peel of 1 orange
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup mixed blueberries and raspberries
- 3 cups water
Instructions
- Heat wine, thyme, lemon and orange peel and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Stir, lower the heat, bring to a simmer, and reduce the liquid until you have one cup remaining, about 15 minutes. Reducing it to this point is important because the freezing point of wine is lower than water, so the alcohol content must be cooked down.
- Remove from the heat and let the liquid cool for 20 minutes.
- Stir in 3 cups of water.
- Carefully ladle the liquid into the popsicle molds, dropping in a few berries in each as you go. Place a popsicle stick in each one, and freeze overnight.
- Remove from the molds and enjoy!
