I’ve been freezing things in ice cube trays since I was a kid. There’s so much one could do with a single ice cube tray! Trust me, I realize I’m not being revolutionary here. I could even freeze aquafaba into single serving portions for later use. I can imagine all kinds of daring combinations for a summer sangria or other adult cocktail. Wouldn’t giant ice cubes made with fresh herbs be gorgeous in a pitcher of lemonade or ice tea? I want to invite a bunch of people over to my house just so I have an excuse to make some! I made a mental note to pick up some popsicle sticks and was merrily thinking about all of the cool combinations I could make by the time I left the store. The silicone ice cube tray was on clearance for a mere $3.50, so I snatched it up. I made the rounds to my usual haunts and found something that was going to bring the popsicle idea I’ve been brewing to life: a silicone ice cube tray that made huge ice cubes! I love combing through antique shops, discount outlets, and thrift stores for interesting and unique pieces- the older, the better. It’s more than probable that the cats actually own more stuff than I do. I don’t collect a lot of things, I prefer the house to be as minimalistic as possible. Last week I went searching for a few new pieces to add to my ever-growing collection of vintage dishes. Over the years I’ve thought of hundreds of combinations that I want to try and yet, I’ve never made even one popsicle. I think about it when I make my own juice at home. I think about it when I have fresh berries on hand or when fruit is on sale at the market.

Ever since these incredible Dark Chocolate Covered Coconut Pistachio Popsicles were published, I’ve been thinking about making my own popsicles.
