Strawberry ice lolly
This is not as sweet as the two above, but
it is for the real strawberry lovers. Blend a
handful of strawberries with a teaspoon of
honey diluted in a spoon of warm water
and a quarter of a cup of apple juice. You
can mix it with yoghurt or ice cream, too.
Homemade ice lolly mould
If you do not have ice lolly moulds, make
your own using small plastic or cardboard
cups. First pour the mix into each cup,
cover with foil and insert a plastic spoon
through the centre of the foil.
Slush puppies
If you prefer slush puppies to ice lollies,
pour the fruit mixes mentioned above
into a plastic or paper cup and freeze.
Take out about half an hour before eating.
Iced up
Have fun at parties by freezing herbs in
ice cubes. Not only does it look pretty but
also by matching the herb ice cube to the
right drink, you will create a more floral
tasting drink.
1. Rosemary, lavender and thyme ice
cubes go well with soda, gin and tonic,
and white wine.
2. Mint ice cubes go well with Coke,
water, Pimms and a mojito.
3. Basil ice cubes go well with a vodka,
lime juice and ginger beer mix.
