Honey instead of sugar is a better way to sweeten these delicious fruit popsicles! The pops also prove one commonly forgotten food fact: basil is to strawberry what chocolate is to peanut butter. The strawberries add a sweet and tart finish while the basil gives a kick of herbal freshness that doesn't fade when frozen. Perfect for a hot summer’s day or an afternoon snack, these popsicles couldn’t be easier to make or have more delicious yet sophisticated flavors. Pop these sweet treats in the freezer, put up your feet and let the freezer do all the work.
