Cooks' Note

Tip: Some ice-pop kits come with ice-block sticks that have holders or lids to keep the stick in place as the popsicle freezes. If you don't have these sticks, an easy way to keep them in place is to cover the molds with foil and make an incision in the centre of each mold to place the stick.
