Calming Cooling Pops for Summer
Long before Spring says her farewell to the rest of the country, summer comes to the desert. We aren’t at the AC point yet, but shutting the blinds has become a necessity. It’s the one thing that always signals the changing of the season that I always struggle with. After nearly 5 years as a transplant from the PNW I’ve finally learned it’s important to find ways to stay cool these next few months as we experience mother nature at her strongest.
One of the biggest challenges for me is keeping my busy toddler hydrated. She is a true desert girl and already knows and loves the power of water, but often forgets when she is immersed in her imaginary worlds. I also notice dehydration leads to her being a little edgy and frustrated as she becomes easily tired. The easiest way to keep those fluids flowing and administer herbal medicine to kids is with popsicles. Because she can be a bit hyperactive, not to mention other obvious reasons, it’s important for us to avoid the sugary, dye-coated grocery store pops. But I even worry about the 100% juice ones to an extent because of the increase in fructose without any fiber. My summer herbal pops can be a calming, cooling, hydrating solution.
I make a fairly strong tea, dilute it with organic unfiltered apple juice and water, then freeze in those skinny ice trays that are used for water bottles. It’s a hit every time, and even mama grabs one in a thirsty pinch or when I’m feeling overwhelmed by summer cabin fever. Most of the herbs have a calming effect and the mint keeps you fresh and cool. The only problem is finding all the empty sticks before the ants do!
