Bring water to a boil. Add sugar and stir until fully dissolved, creating a simple syrup.

Remove from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice.

Transfer the mixture to a blender. Add the mint leaves and blend until

completely smooth and the mint is broken down so finely it almost looks like flecks of black pepper.

Pour the mixture into ice pop molds, filling each one almost to the top (leave a little space for expansion as they freeze).

Insert sticks and freeze until solid. Enjoy!
