homemade popsicles

These popsicles are delicious, fun and very easy to make. It is great fun to choose your own flavors, my favorite being limeade. Some flavors, however, may not work as well as others. For instance, I made a blueberry smoothie and made a popsicle out of it, and it wasn't very good. I pretended to eat it for a while, making the smallest lick possible and finally surreptitiously threw it away. But all juices will work beautifully, such as lemonade or cloudy apple juice. Be careful: anything with pineapple in it will not freeze at all.

Homemade popsicles

Juice
Cup
Stick
( if you have a special popsicle mould, that works much better)

This is very simple. Just pour the juice into your cup or mould. Let it freeze for two or three hours, then if it is not fully frozen ( if it is, let thaw for a while) push you stick into the middle. Then freeze it until it is very hard. Run hot water overy the glass, and take your popsicle out. Mmmmmm!

Experiment with flavors here, sometimes the unusual can be very good!
