As we head towards the summer, nothing beats the refreshing joy of a homemade fruit ice lolly! We believe the simple pleasures are often the best, especially when they’re sustainable, waste-free, and free from unnecessary additives.
Why Make Your Own?
Store-bought ice lollies often come wrapped in single-use plastic and contain ultra-processed ingredients you can’t pronounce. Our homemade version uses:
- Your favourite milkshakes and fruit juices (delivered straight to your door in returnable glass bottles!)
- Reusable ice lolly moulds (no plastic waste!)
How to Create Your Perfect Summer Treat
What You’ll Need:
- Selection of fruit juices or milkshakes (our doorstep-delivered orange juice and strawberry milkshake work brilliantly!)
- Reusable ice lolly moulds with sticks
- A few hours of patience (the hardest part!)
The Simple Steps:
- Select your favourite Modern Milkman drinks – mix and match for creative combinations!
- Pour into your reusable moulds, leaving a small gap at the top (liquids expand when frozen)
- Insert the reusable sticks
- Pop in the freezer for 4-6 hours or overnight
- Run the outside of the mould briefly under warm water to release your lolly
- Enjoy your plastic-free, additive-free summer treat!
Dairy-Free? No Problem!
Our plant-based milks and fruit juices make fantastic dairy-free alternatives. Try our Oato Oat Milk with a splash of vanilla for a creamy treat everyone can enjoy.
Creative Combinations to Try:
