Panakam Popsicle 

Ingredients 

Water: 2 and 1/2 cups| Powdered Jaggery: 1/2 cup| Cardamom powder: 1/2 tsp| Dry ginger powder: 1/4 tsp| Pepper powder: 1/2 tsp| Lemon: 1/2| A tiny pinch of salt 

Method 

• Take jaggery powder in a mixing bowl and add freshly crushed pepper, ginger powder and cardamom powder to it. 
• Add lemon juice to it and mix well 
• Jaggery will be dissolved completely. Strain 
• Now pour into popsicle molds and close with a lid 
• Keep in the freezer for 8 hours minimum or overnight 
• For easy demolding, take water in a bowl and dip each mold 
• Gently pull out the popsicles 

Notes 

• I use powdered jaggery so it dissolved quickly. If you use crushed jaggery it takes a bit more time to get dissolved. 
• Use freshly crushed pepper and cardamom for more flavour 
• The colour of the popsicles depends on the jaggery colour 

Mango Coconut Milk Popsicle

• Fill mango mixture till half of the popsicle mold. Pour coconut milk mixture till the rim of the mold 
• Using a long stick mix it 
• Close with lid and freeze for atleast 8 hours or overnight 

Notes 

• I did not add any sweetner to the mango mixture as the mango was already sweet. If you prefer add a sweetner of your choice
