| Watermelon Lollies |
Ice lolly are everyones favorite (specially children's). I usually make fruit juice lollies and cubes to get relief from summer heat. I still remember the childhood days, when we used to run out to get those colorful ice lollies from ice-cream vendor, coming to our door step every evening. Now I prefer making them from fresh juice of seasonal fruits.
These ice beauties are very cooling, healthy and very refreshing.
