2. Vietnamese Iced Coffee Popsicle

Pro tip: your popsicles will have less chance of being icy if they freeze quickly. If you can turn down the temperature of your freezer, you will have the best results!
3. Arnold Palmer Popsicle
Ingredients:
- Farm Boy Organic Iced Black Tea
- Farm Boy Organic Lemonade
Method:
- Fill popsicle molds halfway with iced tea.
- Freeze for 2 hours until firm, then fill remaining space with lemonade and add popsicle sticks.
- Freeze – at least 3 hours.
4. Piña Colada Popsicle
Ingredients:
-
- Whole cored pineapple
- Farm Boy Organic Coconut Milk
- Lime juice
- Simple syrup – made by dissolving equal parts of sugar into water over heat.
Pro tip: if you have made popsicles before that get crystally or grainy – maybe it’s the sugar element you’ve included. Liquid sweeteners freeze more smoothly than just adding sugar to a mixture. Simple syrup is a good way to combat this!
Method:
-
- Cut pineapple into chunks.
- Blend together pineapple and coconut milk until very smooth.
- Add lime juice and simple syrup to taste.
- Add water if necessary to thin out the mixture so it is pourable.
- Pour into popsicle molds and freeze – at least 6 hours.
