Things I’ve Learned

Freezing can sometimes create ice crystals; mix well before pouring into molds to prevent this.
These pops can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month.
If you’re short on time, consider making smaller pops for quicker freezing.
Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding a bit of honey or agave syrup if desired.
