Making your own popsicles also offers the chance to get creative with flavours. Fruit juices, smoothies, cordials or even pureed fruit make for a perfect popsicle base, and little touches of slices fruits makes for a lovely stained glass effect.

Much like a satisfying iced fizzy drink on a hot day, the lemonade in these popsicles make for a zesty sweetness to spur you on through the heat. The thyme is there for a herby essence and blueberries add a pink hue and a subtle berry flavour. Get creative with ingredients and make the most of the summer fruit bounty.

To keep the popsicle sticks standing straight when freezing, particular with liquid mixtures such as these, cover the moulds with foil and create a slit to place the popsicle stick through.
