How to store

Keeping leftovers fresh

If you have any leftover popsicles (though they might not last long), here are some tips for storing them:

Store in the freezer: Keep the popsicles in their molds or transfer them into an airtight container lined with parchment paper. This will help prevent freezer burn.
Shelf life: Homemade popsicles can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. Always check for ice crystals, which can affect both taste and texture.
