Comfort me with popsicles

I know that it's not quite summer yet, but these warmer days are getting me thinking about new ice cream recipes for the season. As an easy, pre-summer treat I've been making popsicles. It's amazing how having a popsicle on a warm day (or even a cold, sick-at-home day) can bring back happy childhood memories... it's no coincidence that the popsicle was invented by an 11 year old boy! For a slightly more grown-up take on the frozen treat, I've been combining grapefruit juice and elderflower syrup from Ikea in a make-at-home popsicle tray. The elderflower sweetens up the citrus and combines to create a perfect fruity floral flavor. The ratio of juice to syrup is up to personal preference, but I've found 1 part syrup to 4 parts juice to be a pretty good recipe. If you want to kick it up a bit, St. Germain elderflower liqueur could replace the syrup... definitely grown up!*
