Not only are they refreshing and hydrating, but they\u2019re also easy to make. All you really need to make homemade popsicles is a popsicle mold and your ingredients, but here\u2019s a few tips to make your popsicle making adventure easier.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"strain-your-fruit\"><strong>Strain your fruit<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Strain your fruit purees to get a smoother texture and consistency. It\u2019s better to strain through a mesh sieve rather than throwing in chunks of fruit. The pieces of fruit will freeze and be difficult to eat.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"layer-your-mixtures\"><strong>Layer your mixtures<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If you want different colours to pop out more, start with chilled mixtures so that they\u2019ll freeze more quickly. Then, you\u2019ll just have to layer on top of each other when they have a thick consistency.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"unmolding\"><strong>Unmolding<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>When you\u2019re unmolding your popsicles, submerge the mold in warm water about halfway until the ice pops begin to release.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"1-iced-coffee-popsicles-around-8-9-depending-on-mold\"><strong>1.
