Tips and Tricks On How To Make Popsicles At Home

• Experiment With Different Flavors: If you don't have cherry Kool-Aid or prefer a different taste, you can use any flavor of Kool-Aid that you like.
• Fruity Version: Add some fresh, chopped cherries or other fruits to the popsicle molds before pouring the liquid mixture. It adds a delightful surprise burst of flavor and texture.
• Creamy Version: For a creamy variation, mix some whipped cream or Greek yogurt into the Jello and Kool-Aid mixture. This creates a smooth and luxurious texture for your popsicles.
• Rainbow Popsicles: Why settle for one flavor when you can have many? Create layers of different flavored Jello and Kool-Aid in the molds to make rainbow popsicles! Allow each layer to partially freeze before adding the next one.
• Sparkling Version: For a fizzy twist, replace a part of the cold water with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda. The effervescence will make your popsicles even more refreshing!
• Adult Version: If you want to make your popsicles even more flavorful, you can add a splash of cherry brandy or liqueur to the mixture.
• Paper Cups: If using paper cups, place them in the freezer for about 15 to 30 minutes before inserting the sticks. This helps the sticks stand upright during freezing.
• Ice Cube Trays: If you don't have paper cups or popsicle molds, you can use ice cube trays.
