Herbsicles
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 cups water
- 2 sprigs rosemary, or 1 bunch thyme, or 1 bunch mint
- 1 rubber glove (powder-free)
- 1 (3-gallon) plastic soda bottle with the bottom cut off and a small hole drilled in the cap
- 1 rubber band
- 1 (1/4-inch) dowel, about 16 inches long
- Pour the sugar and water into a saucepan and put it over medium heat.
- Add the herb of choice and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Remove from the heat and let cool.
- When cool, remove the herb and refrigerate.
- First fill the rubber glove with water to make sure there are no leaks.
- Empty the water out and place the glove into the soda bottle with the wrist draped over the small opening.
- Secure it with the rubber band.
- Fill the glove with the cooled herb-sugar liquid.
- Screw on the cap and carefully insert the dowel getting it almost all the way down the middle finger.
- Place the whole thing in the freezer and freeze overnight.
- When ready to serve, remove from the freezer and push the hand out of the bottle.
- Peel off the glove and eat.
- Note: Lazy people can freeze the herb-sugar liquid in regular ice pop molds.
