Nice easy one this month and hopefully a cooling refresher just right for the weather. If you don’t have silicone lolly moulds normal ones will do just be careful how you insert the sticks and make sure they are in the middle of the lollies. If you do not have any moulds freeze the mix in a shallow tray and freeze then roughly mash with a fork every two hours to make an orange granita
