How to Make Delicious Ice Lollies with Squash
Do you want a fun and refreshing treat that will help you beat the summer heat? Look no further than homemade ice lollies made with squash! This simple and delicious recipe will have you and your family craving more.
To get started, gather the following ingredients:
– Your favorite squash concentrate (such as orange, lemon, or raspberry)
– Water
– Sugar (optional)
– Ice lolly molds
– Wooden sticks
– Any additional fruits or herbs you want to add for extra flavor
Once you have all of the ingredients, it’s time to start making your frosty treats.
Start by mixing the squash concentrate with water in a large jug. The ratio of concentrate to water will depend on your personal taste preference, but a good starting point is one part concentrate to three parts water. If you like your ice lollies on the sweeter side, feel free to add a spoonful of sugar to the mix.
Once you’ve mixed your squash concentrate and water, it’s time to get creative! You can add chunks of fresh fruit like strawberries or kiwi to the mixture for a burst of flavor and a pop of color. You can also experiment with adding a few sprigs of mint or basil for an unexpected twist.
After you’ve added any extra ingredients, carefully pour the mixture into your ice lolly molds, leaving a little extra room at the top to accommodate the wooden sticks. Once the molds are filled, place them in the freezer for at least four hours, or until the ice lollies are completely frozen.
Now, here comes the fun part – enjoying your homemade ice lollies! Run the mold under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the lollies, then gently pull them out and serve them up to your eager family and friends.
Not only are these ice lollies a delightful treat, but they’re also a great way to get your kids involved in the kitchen. Let them help mix the ingredients, choose their favorite fruits to add, and carefully pour the mixture into the molds. They’ll love being able to create their own tasty snacks, and you’ll love knowing exactly what’s gone into them.
With endless flavor possibilities and the satisfaction of creating something delicious from scratch, making ice lollies with squash is a fun and rewarding experience.
