Minty Watermelon Ice

Posted by Michelle on November 13, 2011 None comments
Even though it’s fall, it’s still blisteringly hot.  But thankfully, the watermelon is as sweet right now as the weather is hot.  This frozen dish should cool you down in no time!

3 cups watermelon

1 drop spearmint oil

 

Freeze the watermelon for 4 hours or overnight.  Watermelon actually freezes quite well for slushies, so you can chop up a bunch to leave in there for when it’s not in season.

Blend the frozen watermelon with 1 drop of spearmint oil.

When you’re done, it will be scoopable like ice cream but have a soft serve texture and is super yummy.

Orange infused fruit salad. Orange essential oil adds a tangy, citrus flavor to a healthy fruit salad. Try it for an easy addition to a summer meal.
Ingredients
  • 2-3 Tbsp Blue Agave
  • 3-4 Drops Orange Essential Oil
  • 1 1/2 Cups Blueberries
  • 1 Cup Peaches, cut into pieces
  • 1 Cup Grapes, halved
  • 2 Cups Strawberries, quartered
  • 2 Kiwi, cut into large pieces
  • 2 Bananas, sliced
  • 4 Mint leaves, cut (optional)
Instructions
  1. Mix agave and orange essential oil in a separate container and place to the side, allowing the flavor of the orange oil to infuse into the agave. Rinse fruit and place in a large bowl, except for bananas. Add bananas just prior to serving to prevent discoloration. Drizzle agave mixture over fruit and gently fold mixture until fruit is saturated. Cover and chill for 10 minutes.
  2. Rinse mint leaves and dry thoroughly. Place mint leaves on top of each other and roll tightly. Shred mint leaves with kitchen scissors. Add shredded mint leaves to fruit and gently fold. Cover and chill for an additional 5 minutes. Makes 9 servings.
