Comment on Day 129 — PB2 Ice Pops by popmistress

Sorry it took so long for me to respond — whether or not a Zoku is worth it depends heavily on how much you like ice pops. As you can see, I managed to make about 7 months of different ice pops before running out of steam. I feel like I more than got my sister-in-law’s money’s worth (it was a gift) in those months. Since the summer, we’ve used the Zoku a handful of times. It particularly came in handy when my kids were sick, since I could make them juice pops to keep them hydrated. But I’ll be honest, we’re only using it once a month if that. I’d keep an eye out to find it on sale.

Hello – just stumbled upon your blog – VERY NICE. I’ve been eyeing up a Zoku for quite some time and was worried it was “just another gadget” Is it honestly worth the price now that you’ve used it for a year?

I’ve been enjoying eggnog in my Zoku since November and it’s fabulous! And it’s super easy… pour, freeze, eat.

I recently bought the book “Poptails: 60 Boozy Treats Served on a Stick” by Erin Nichols (it’s available from amazon) and it has instructions for adding alcohol to popsicles so that you get the flavour and it still freezes.

Congrats on the Zoke shout-out on Facebook! For the Candy Cane pop, might I suggest vanilla pudding base, a drop or two of mint extract, and crumbled candy canes for color and texture? Alternately, chocolate base could also be yummy.

I think I made a Tulsi ice pop back in July, but it was with a premade tea bag.

I’d probably steep the herb in some hot water for 5-10 minutes, then sweeten the resulting tea with a little more sugar/honey than you’d naturally use, chill it, then put it in the Zoku. That’s what I do when I make tea from the lemon balm in my garden.

Welcome back and since you have been gone for awhile, I want to ask a question you can make an icepop out of a tulsi herb? I already got a recipe on how to make a tea out of basil leaves which is somewhat the same with this one from mercola at http://organicindia.mercola.com/tulsi-tea.aspx but I hope I can have more recipe and different concepts because I have lot of this one on my garden.
