It’s hot. It’s really hot. It’s close the door, crank up the AC, and break out the ice trays for the back of your neck hot. It’s about this time that frozen, flavored sugared ice on a stick starts to sound like a reasonable dining experience. Popsicles are refreshing, tasty, and it’s fun and easy to make many variations, from fruity to savory to decidedly adult.
