Not surprisingly, though, the Popsicles you buy at the local corner store tend to be sickeningly sweet and neon bright, thanks to an abundance of high-fructose corn syrup and artificial colors. Thankfully, this is something you can easily remedy, as long as you have a blender or a food processor (and for some recipes, not even that); some ice-pop molds, either purchased or jury-rigged; and a freezer.
當你在當?shù)氐慕纸切〉曩I的冰棒往往是甜的讓你受不了并且顏色也很亮的時候,不要驚訝,這是由于大量高果糖玉米糖和人工色素的使用造成的。欣慰的是,還有些簡單的補救做法,只要你有一個攪拌器或是一個食物加工器(和一些烹飪指南,甚至都不用);還有一些冰棍模具,不管是買的還是臨時備的;再加一個冰箱就夠了。
You might be surprised at what you can freeze, and what tastes good frozen. The suggestions here represent just a few possibilities and, I think, interesting ones.
也許你會納悶?zāi)阋獌鍪裁,或是凍個什么味兒的。下面幾條意見就是為你提供一些選擇,并且我認為也都是很有意思的一些東西。
If you don’t have, and don’t want to buy, plastic molds, just pour the mix into four to six paper cups and stick them in the freezer. After an hour or so, insert a wooden stick into each cup — the mixture will have solidified enough that the stick should stay upright — and continue to freeze until totally solid. To remove the pops from their molds, run them under cool running water for a few seconds to loosen them. Then unmold and lick to your heart’s content.
如果你沒有或是不想買塑料模具,就把混合好的倒在4到6個紙杯里面,捅一個洞在上面后放冰箱里。一個小時左右后,把木棍插在每個杯子里面——你拌好的那東西到時候已經(jīng)凍的差不多,你把棍子插在上面也不會倒掉——然后繼續(xù)放在冰箱里凍直到凍實了。把冰棒從模具里拿出來時,要用水沖個幾秒鐘讓它和模具分開。然后拿出冰棒,享受吧~~
