My kids love a lolly in the hot weather… actually even on a rainy day! As we never get a visit from the ice cream man we have tried our hand at creating our own! Have a go yourself and share any new recipes your kids love in the Calderdale Mumbler Chat Group!

 

SUPER JUICE LOLLIES

Cordial x 3 flavours

• Freeze for 2 hours.
• Repeat with a different flavoured cordial and different fruit chunks and fill the mould until 2/3 full. Freeze again.
• Repeat with the final cordial until full and freeze for another 2 hours.
