I remember when my mom used to make popsicles when I was a kid. She had a set of plastic molds, and for at least a few years there were always popsicles in the freezer for summer snacks, and they were so good. We used all kinds of juices, and they were the perfect way to keep cool.
Well, who says I can’t eat popsicles as an adult? I didn’t think of it until I read Kettle And Cup’s idea for tea popsicles, which I haven’t tried yet even though I keep meaning to. But I love icy snacks, and I went out shortly thereafter and got a set of my own popsicle molds.
Even in just the 2 weeks I’ve had them, I’ve been having a ton of fun, and discovering all sorts of things that make good popsicles. Since the molds I got are individual, you can refill each one as you empty it, which means potentially and ever-changing rotation of flavors.
So far, my favorites are actually the simplest: orange juice is the best, followed closely by chocolate milk. But you can freeze just about anything, and I’m looking forward to trying some tea pops soon (but it’ll be so hard to decide on the flavors!) There are also some great lists out there with ideas for what to freeze.
Do you have fond memories of homemade popsicles from your childhood? Have you refused to give them up? Tell me some of your favorites!

I love Marye’s Baking Delight’s blog too – tea pops are good. Also, you bought my fave molds. Good luck with all your ice pop shenanigans.
