Simple Syrup

Of course you can buy simple syrup. But its super simple to make and will save you money and any extra additives. Make a double batch of simple syrup. And transfer to a container with a lid, something like a measuring cup with a lid or mason jar, then refrigerate. Its great to have simple syrup on the ready for mix drinks, coffee and tea.

Why Pectin?

Pectin, Sugar and alcohol all help to lower the freezing point of the popsicle to ensure you don’t get rock hard, icy popsicle.  Half a teaspoon of gelatin for each cup of the liquid mixture will do the trick; you'll get a softer, smoother texture popsicle by adding the pectin
