There's nothing like a popscicle on a hot summer day. Flavored "ices" were being made almost as soon as people had ice. They chipped off small pieces, added syrup and served it in a bowl with a spoon. The next step was adding the sticks, and... the rest is history.

*Bonus Recipe*

Popsicles

Fresh or frozen berries
1 can seltzer water
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
small paper cups
popscicle sticks

1. Put the seltzer water, sugar and orange juice in a blender and mix.

2. Add a handful of berries (to taste). Strawberries or blueberries work well. Blend until well mixed.

3. Pour into the paper cups. You then need to add a popscicle stick to each cup. TIP: Put the cups in the freezer - add sticks once the liquid is slushy. Freeze until hard.

ENJOY!
