Popsicles are one of the favorite treats for children, especially on hot days. With their sweet and refreshing taste, popsicles can be a perfect choice to cool down their bodies. This time, we will make popsicles using Kurnia syrup. This recipe is very easy to follow and the ingredients are simple. Let’s get started!
Ingredients Needed
To make Kurnia syrup popsicles, you will need the following ingredients:
Main Ingredients:
- 1 bottle of Kurnia syrup (flavor of your choice)
- 500 ml of boiled water
- 2-3 tablespoons of sugar (optional, to taste)
Additional Ingredients:
- Pieces of fresh fruit (such as strawberries, mangoes, kiwi)
- Popsicle molds
- Popsicle sticks
Steps for Making
1. Preparing the Syrup
First, mix the Kurnia syrup with boiled water in a large bowl. If you prefer a sweeter taste, add sugar to taste and stir until the sugar dissolves. Make sure the syrup and water mixture is well combined.
2. Preparing the Popsicle Molds
Prepare clean popsicle molds. You can use plastic or silicone popsicle molds that are easily found in kitchen supply stores. Make sure the molds are dry before using.
3. Adding Fruit Pieces
Add pieces of fresh fruit to the popsicle molds. These fruits will provide extra texture and flavor to your popsicles. Some fruit options you can use are strawberries, mangoes, and kiwis. Cut the fruits into small pieces to make them easier to put into the molds.
4. Filling the Molds with Syrup Mixture
Pour the prepared Kurnia syrup mixture into the popsicle molds until almost full. Make sure the fruits remain submerged in the syrup. Leave a little space at the top of the molds to insert the popsicle sticks.
5. Inserting the Popsicle Sticks
Insert the popsicle sticks in the center of the molds. If your popsicle molds don’t have stick holders, make sure the sticks stay upright and don’t tilt.
6. Freezing the Popsicles
Place the popsicle molds in the freezer and let them sit for at least 4-6 hours or until the popsicles are completely frozen. For best results, let the popsicles freeze overnight.
7. Removing the Popsicles from the Molds
Once the popsicles are completely frozen, take the molds out of the freezer. To easily remove the popsicles, dip the molds in warm water for a few seconds or until the popsicles easily come out of the molds.
