You will find it easier to juice the limes if you rub them on the counter first. Set the juice aside.

Put the min leaves into a pestle. Add two tablespoons of the sugar and crush the mint well with a mortar.

Put a mint leaf in each mold.

Bring the water and remaining sugar together to a boil. Boil until all the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.

Put the lime juice into a large measuring cup or other container with a spout. Add the sugar-water. Add the sugar mint and stir well to combine.

Pour into the molds, leaving a little head room for expansion. Place the tops of the molds on.

Carefully place the molds in a flat place in the freezer. Freeze for at least 5 hours, preferably overnight.

Run the mold under hot water for a few seconds to loosen.

Enjoy!
