Notes
Amount of popsicles made will depend on size of popsicle molds used
Calories are based on sugar added NOT sweetener
Use popsicle molds for the best results. They come in various sizes and shapes and are specifically designed for making popsicles.
No popsicle molds? Use ice cube trays or plastic cups with wooden popsicle sticks or plastic spoons inserted in center.
Fill the molds only three-fourths of the way to allow for expansion when freezing.
Having trouble dissolving the sugar? Dissolve it in boiling water and then add cold water.
Popsicles must be stored in freezer until ready to serve.
