Herb and Fruit Popsicles
There’s a popsicle company here in Atlanta called King of Pops who creates all sorts of fun flavors from mixed juices and fruit purees. My favorite pops from his stand are the ones that combine seasonal herbs and unusual spices with juice to give the pop some….pop! Here are a few herb and juice combo ideas to get you going:
- grapefruit with mint or basil
- lemonade with basil or lavender
- orange, peach, or mango with minced ginger
- pineapple and mango with a teensy bit of hot pepper (the one pictured above is pineapple habanero)
A tip for making pops with herbs: To keep herbs from settling at the bottom, make these in stages. First, mix the herbs and juice, stirring well, and fill your popsicle molds 1/3 of the way. Freeze completely, then fill 1/3 more. Freeze again, top them off, then freeze one last time. It’s a bit time-consuming this way, but that will prevent all of the herbs from sinking to the bottom.

Yes, such lovely ideas and Sally M. while never putting toothpicks in the ice cube trays I often pour mango, cherry or blueberry juice into the trays and have perfect little ice cubes for flavouring my homemade chilled ice teas! Wonderful!
Sounds like a cooling idea on a hot day like today. Will have to try....never made them , since I was a kid!!!!
I've never made popsicles, but I really want to after reading these ideas. The tea-based ones sound especially good to me. I wish a company like Edy's or Dole would make tea-infused popsicles. When iced tea is so popular, I wonder why they don't? Hmmmm....
Thanks I will have to try making some for my kids
Thanks for sharing :))
About time to eat my first popsicle of the summer.
For some reason, I disliked popsicles by the time I turned 10-11. Now, I'm into ice cream and frozen yogurt. Whats next? Sorbet maybe, I dont know ;)
Yes, yogurt pops. What about mashed watermelon? and pairing watermelon with basil or mint- yum.
thanks
