Baltimore Peppermint Lemon Sticks

Baltimore Peppermint Lemon Sticks are a unique treat where lemons are sliced and impaled with peppermint candy sticks, serving as edible straws to sip the lemon juice. Pushing peppermint sticks into lemon halves extracts juice through the porous candy over time, offering a tart and sweet refreshing experience. This preparation transforms simple ingredients into a nostalgic snack or refreshment.

Ingredients

  • 4 lemon plural
  • 8 peppermint candy sticks either King Leo or Bob's Big Stripes brands, not candy canes, old-fashioned

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Roll each lemon on the counter with a little pressure from your hand to break up some of the pulp so it's extra juicy.
  2. Make a small slice at each end of the lemon so there is a flat surface on both ends. Slice the lemons in half.
  3. Stick a peppermint stick into the center of each lemon, pushing it to the bottom. You may need to make a small "X" in the center of each lemon with a sharp knife if the lemon stick doesn't push in easily. Use the lemon stick like a straw to suck up the lemon juice. It may take a bit for it to start working, but the juice will eventually flow up through the porous candy.
