Popsicle Star
By Liz Yeh | 6/1/2005


Sweet ice on a stick — what's not to love about an ice pop? Well,
besides all the artificial flavors and colors, of course. But you can
stay cool this summer with your own, all-natural ice pops — no fake
colors or flavorings added. They're a snap to make, and the kids will
love you for it!

Here are a few of our favorites:

Berry-Melon Pops
Mango Peach Pops
Banana Pineapple Pops

Pop Tips
Virtually any liquid can be transformed into an ice pop: fruit juice,
soda, milk, lemonade — even coffee and tea. Freeze it plain or jazz
it up with puréed fruit, but be sure to use ripe fruit. It's so much
sweeter and more flavorful, you may not even need to add extra sugar.

You can buy popsicle molds at housewares and department stores.
