Making Popsicles

4th June, 2010 - Posted by katherine - No Comments

One of my favorite sites I like to check, Design Sponge, had a post today about DIY popsicles that sounds fun and tasty.  The poster, Ashley writes, “Homemade, using fresh ingredients and no additives, DIY popsicles offer a quick, cheap, easy, and delicious solution to the dog days of summer. There’s also no packaging or waste to dispose of afterward, making made-from-scratch popsicles an environmentally conscientious delight, as well.”

It’s definitely greener than buying popsicles from the store that have so much wasteful packaging, plus you don’t have to worry about any weird additives or corn syrup being snuck in.  (You could probably even reuse the wooden craft sticks so long as you wash them well and let them air dry!) Check out the post for the recipe for three flavors: Coco Loco, Raspberry Creamsicle and Lemon-Lime Ginger Pop.
