Make Popsicles Using An Ice Cube Tray







Everyone enjoys a frozen treat now and then.


The original Popsicle was invented by an eleven-year-old child named Frank Epperson in 1905. Young Frank accidentally left a mixture of water and soda outside and it froze, giving him the million dollar idea that he would later introduce as the "Epsicle" and eventually call the Popsicle you know and love. You can make delicious icy treats similar to Popsicles in your own home freezer and customize them with your gang's favorite flavors.


Instructions


1. Fill the wells of an ice-cube tray approximately 3/4 full with juice or flavored drinks made from powdered mixes.








2. Wrap a sheet of aluminum foil over the tray. Secure it tightly.


3. Poke a Popsicle stick though the foil into the center of each cube mold. The foil helps keep the stick erect while freezing.


4. Transfer the tray into the freezer for four to 24 hours, or until the juice is completely frozen.


5. Remove the foil and pop the frozen cubes from the tray.
