Notes
Unmould Lollies: To Unmould, place the popsicle mould in a mug of warm water for about 30-60 seconds, then gently pull the handle to lift off the mould cover.
Strain Juice: Straining the juice is optional. I chose to strain it to remove the seeds, but you can skip this step if you're confident there are no seeds while blending the watermelon and prefer a more pulpy texture in your lollies.
Sweetener: Skip maple syrup if the watermelon is sweet enough on its own.
