Ice cream lollies: Matcha, Mango, Basil

Ice cream lollies: matcha, mango, basil

Summer is slowly coming to an end, and refreshing popsicles have been a staple of these warm days. Even though cooler days are on the horizon, it doesn’t mean we have to say goodbye to summer flavors just yet. Homemade popsicles with mango, matcha, and a basil-infused layer are the perfect combination – the sweetness of mango, the freshness of basil, and the herbal note of matcha bring a taste of summer back, even if just for a moment.
