Pour the mixture into popsicle moulds and secure the lids. Freeze overnight or until firm (6 hours minimum). Once set, enjoy as a cool snack!
If you don’t have popsicle moulds or yoghurt, don’t sweat it, you can use ice trays and fruit juice instead.

Ice cube tray popsicles:
Ice cube tray
1l orange juice
Plastic wrap
Toothpicks

Pour orange juice into an ice cube tray. Place plastic wrap tightly over the top of the tray. Take toothpicks and put in the centre of each block.

Let it freeze for four hours or overnight until set. Take them out of freezer, remove the plastic wrap and enjoy your orange ice bites!
