This is so easy that you can do it with your kids around and let them make it themselves. Minus the use of added-sugar, you can enjoy the yummier flavour of these freezies for the summertime.
Ingredients:
4 ½ cups prepared lemonade
4 1/2-cup capacity ice pop tray
6 popsicle sticks
Directions:
Pour 3/4 cup lemonade into each ice pop cavity, leaving 1/2 inch clear at the top. Transfer ice pop tray carefully to the freezer. Freeze for 1 1/2 hour. Insert a popsicle stick into each ice pop. Freeze until solid, about 1 1/2 hour more.
Consume Miracle Berry:
Just before digging in, chew 1 or more freeze-dried miracle berry (this can also be done during the preparation of ingredients). Ensure to remove pits to avoid a bitter taste.
Fact:
The active ingredient miraculin from miracle berry will turn sour foods such as lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, non-fat yoghurt and other citrus food to taste sweet without adding sugar. We recommend two halves or 2 servings for maximum effectiveness. Make sure to follow instructions from the back of the packaging.
Note: Sometimes you may need to add at least 5-7% of the total quantity of sugar required, this is due to the chemistry of the food, however, you may skip this as you wish. The goal is to totally reduce sugar and yet experience the same taste.
