Summer Time Popsicles

One of my favorite websites to browse is Buzzfeed. So after my mom gave me the idea to make popsicles as a fun summer treat, I went to Buzzfeed to find inspiration. I found two lists that had different popsicle ideas, and tested out two of those ideas. So here are the recipes I used followed by the lists I used as inspiration.


Rosemary Infused Lemonade Popsicles

4 lemons - juiced
1/2 cup cold water
1/4 cup simple syrup - (half sugar, half water)
1 sprig of rosemary

After heating together equal parts water and sugar I let a sprig of rosemary steep in the syrup while it cooled. I then juiced the lemons and mixed it with the 1/2 of cold water and the rosemary simple syrup. Then I filled my popsicle molds and placed them in the freezer to freeze for at least 4-5 hours.

Strawberry Yogurt Popsicles

7-8 strawberries
1 cup vanilla yogurt

I cut up the strawberries and then blended them in a food processor to turn them into a puree. I then just alternated layers of strawberry puree and yogurt in the popsicle molds and let them freeze for 3-4 hours.

My friends and I often send each other Buzzfeed lists that remind each other of each other and we've spent hours taking the Buzzfeed quizzes together. We've talked about making some of the different recipes we've seen and so this post is in hopes of trying out all the other recipes we have found in the future. So till next time,
