Steps
1. For the kiwi popsicles, put 4 peeled kiwis, 3 tbsp honey, and 1/2 cup milk into a blender and blend.
Instead of kiwi, try using seasonal fruits like bananas, strawberries, or grapes.
2. For the sweet red bean popsicles, pour in 1 cup sweet red bean paste for shaved ice and 1/3 cup milk, then blend.
3. If you want whole red beans to chew on like I do, blend only 2/3 cup of the 1 cup of sweet red bean paste and just stir in the remaining 1/3 cup unblended.
4. Pour all the prepared mixtures into the molds.
For the orange popsicles, I just poured the orange juice straight into the mold.
Freeze them in the freezer for over 6 hours. If they do not come out of the mold easily, dip the mold in cold water for a moment,
then hold the handle and twist it out.
