strawberry lemonade popsicles


Soooo, our new apartment doesn't have air conditioning. Womp Womp.... And with these humid 30 degree days lately, we've been looking for anyway to stay cool. Enter --> homemade popsicles! I have little doubt that the $2 we spent on the popsicle mould will be some of the best money spent this summer. We went for strawberry lemonade for our first batch but I can't wait to try some more flavor combinations! 


{ I cut half a pint of strawberries into quarters then cooked them with just a 
little bit of sugar and orange juice }


{ After cooking the berries down, I blended them up in the food processor }
(blender would work just as well) 


{ Using a measuring cup made it easy to pour the puree into the bottom of the moulds }



{ Filled up the rest of the moulds with lemonade }


{ Put the sticks in before putting them in the freezer }


{ And after a night in the freezer... }


 { Voila! Frozen treats, ready to help us beat the heat! }
