Hey everybody, it's Bear!
I hope you are all enjoying your summer vacation! However, as we all know, summer can be excruciatingly hot. Popsicles are a common way to cool down during the summer, they are sweet and tasty and seem to be just the right temperature when consumed during the summer. The summer's vicious heat paired with the popsicle's delicious iciness; it's a match made in heaven!
However, the majority of the popsicles you can find in stores are filled to the brim with potentially carcinogenic food colourings and preservatives! Despite being low in calories, I would recommend consuming them in moderation. "But Bear; What else can I eat to cool myself down during the summer?", you may ask, to which I will answer: popsicles! You must be exceedingly perplexed by now, allow me to explain: No, I am not giving you an answer that is contradictory to my previous statement (well, I guess I am on some levels), as today I will show you how to create your own popsicles using fruit juice! I would recommend consuming these...well...as often as you'd like to!
Here's what you'll need:
- Water
- Watermelon (you can use any fruit of your choice Hrt)
- Optional: Honey/Maple syrup/Any sweetener of your choice
- Popsicle molds
Step 1. Place a piece of watermelon in a bowl.
Step 2. Crush your watermelon using a fork. I personally believe listening to One Way by Blondie makes this even more enjoyable *die watermelon, die*
Step 3. Add an appropriate quantity of water to the bowl.
Step 4. Pour your mixture into a glass, this will make pouring it into your popsicle molds much easier.
Step 5. Pour your mixture into your popsicle molds.
Step 6. Place your popsicles in the freezer to set for 2-8 hours.
Step 7. Carefully remove your popsicles from the molds.
