While researching small town summer fairs (we plan to visit one this year), I came across a description for these peppermint lemon sticks. Have you ever had one? They are amazing! To make them you simply cut off the top 1/3 of a lemon and insert a peppermint stick. As you suck, the stick hallows out and it produces the most refreshing summer combination of tangy and sweet. They are our new poolside treat and would be amazing served at any summer party.
If you don’t happen to have a stash of peppermint sticks left over from the holidays (what???) you can buy a box of them here.
PS. A hearty hooray for rolled up jean short season…
It´s always a pleasure visiting you! amazingly lovely

I used to have these at Baltimore’s springtime fairs–they’re too much fun!

How have I never heard of this?! What a cute and refreshing treat!
Beautiful and simple, which is the perfect combo. And what a cutie pie you have!
oh! I already have all the ingredients! must try this so soon!
This is such a fantastic idea!! I love lemon-mint flavoring + scents!
I had these at a fair when I was little and I loved them! Such a classic along with a water balloon yo yo! You should really look into the water balloon yo yo :)
How much were they
Wow! That’s a childhood treat I remember. My family, friends, & I will still lemon & peppermint especially when we have a cold. If you like that one, try it with pickles. You can use peppermint or any flavored hard candy.
I love these! They have always been a part of spring time festivals in Baltimore. I often wondered if they were kind of a local thing because many of my friends who have moved here have never heard of them before. Yummmm! :)
