Description
Feel-better popsicles are just the thing that’s needed during this cold season. They pair well with chicken soup, chamomile tea, piles of tissues, and excessive coughing, sneezing, and Netflix binge-watching.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 3 cups diced mango (from 2 large or 4 small very ripe mangos)
- 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
- 2-inch piece of turmeric, peeled and roughly chopped (or 2 tablespoons ground turmeric)
- 1/3 cup honey
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel and roughly chop the ginger and turmeric (if using fresh). Dice the mangoes into small pieces.
- Blend Ingredients: In a food processor or blender, combine the lemon juice, orange juice, diced mango, ginger, turmeric, and honey.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture until completely smooth.
- Fill Popsicle Molds: Pour the blended mixture into popsicle molds.
- First Freeze: Place the molds in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes or until they are just firm enough to hold a popsicle stick.
- Insert Popsicle Sticks: Insert a popsicle stick into each mold, making sure it stands straight.
- Complete Freezing: Return the molds to the freezer and freeze until the popsicles are completely set, which should take at least a few hours.
- Serve: To serve, briefly dip the popsicle molds in warm water to release the popsicles.
Notes
- For a vegan alternative, substitute honey with agave syrup or maple syrup.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the mixture to remove any fibers or bits before freezing.
- You can add a pinch of black pepper to enhance the absorption of turmeric.
