The heat wave is on.. The tropics are blazing and as islanders we seem to be fanning ourselves out tirelessly. What do you do to keep cool this season??…I seem to be running to the freezer to look for something to cool me down. My evening tea seems too hot and the tired kids from school look heat exhausted. Summer is definitely here.
Last evening i saw my little one with her head popped in the freezer, she was searching for some ice lollies.. oh dear poor thing!! I had forgotten about them for a while. so definitely this was the plan for today. Make ice poles to make the best of this summer. Ice poles, ice lollies or popsicle are water based fruit flavored frozen dessert.
Did you know that the largest popsicle record is held by Holland and its 21 foot long… oh my!!
That’s a summer well taken care ( chuckling)
Now to our summer ice poles — In my fruit basket was a juicy mango and a few mandarins, So off we go to juice them out and set popsicle for the evening. since you are using real fruit juice you need not add any extra sweetener. If you really have a double sweet tooth drizzle on some honey.

The summer fruit ice poles are lovely for the toddlers and the teething babies too as they are 100% fruit juice and no additives. You may need to invest in a Popsicle mould (totally worth it). Now if you dont have a mould, pour the juice in paper cups and add in some popsicle sticks in a slanting manner. As you are ready to eat peel off the paper cup.
The summer ice poles form a great gluten free, diabetic dessert treat too. Portion size it well and you too can cool down for summer.
