Popsicles sold out during the recent heat wave in B.C. 

But here’s a recipe, from Angie Quaale, owner of Langley’s Well Seasoned: A Gourmet Food Store, for adults who want to enjoy a frozen treat with a twist.

Quaale previously provided recipes for cucumber and lime mint pops and three-ingredient ice cream, as well as watermelon salad with feta and mint.

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Instructions 

Blend the sugar and lime juice in a blender until the sugar dissolves.
