Today, let’s create homemade popsicles with three refreshing flavors: kokum, watermelon, and orange. The method is straightforward and you can use just about any fruit available—such as mango, pomegranate, strawberry, blueberry, or lemon—by following the same base recipe. Here are a few tips:
-
For pomegranate popsicles, add a little lemon juice to brighten the flavor.

For mango popsicles, avoid adding milk; instead, use water and sugar for a purer fruit taste.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS WITH PICTURES
Here are the ingredients needed for making three flavors of Popsicles:
Kokum Popsicles:
-
2 tablespoons kokum syrup (contains salt and sugar)
-
1 cup water
Watermelon Popsicles:
-
1 cup small cubes of watermelon
-
1 tablespoon sugar
-
A pinch of salt
Orange Popsicles:
-
1 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed)
-
1 tablespoon sugar
-
½ cup water
These simple ingredients create refreshing and delicious homemade pops perfect for summer.
Kokum Pops
First, take 2 tablespoons of kokum syrup in a mixing bowl.
Add 1 cup of water to the kokum syrup in the mixing bowl to dilute it and then mix well. Since this kokum syrup already contains sugar and salt, there’s no need to add extra.
However, in India, many kokum syrups do not contain sugar or salt, so if you’re using one of those, you can add sugar and a pinch of salt as needed to taste. This mixture will serve as your kokum juice base for the popsicles.
Watermelon Pops
To make watermelon popsicles, first take 1 cup of watermelon cubes.
Grind the 1 cup of watermelon cubes in a grinder until you get a smooth puree.
Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and a pinch of salt to the watermelon puree to give it a slightly sweet and tangy (khata-mitha) taste. Mix well.
Grind the watermelon mixture until it becomes a fine, smooth juice, perfect for making popsicles (ice candy).
Orange Popsicle
First, take 1 cup of fresh, juicy orange juice for making the orange popsicles.
Add the 1 cup of orange juice to the grinder, then add 1 tablespoon of sugar and ½ cup of water to make it more juicy. Finally, grind it together to blend all the ingredients well.
Strain the blended orange juice through a strainer to remove any pulp or seeds, ensuring the juice comes out clear and smooth.
Finally, pour the prepared kokum juice, watermelon juice, and orange juice into separate popsicle molds.
Finally, cover all the popsicle molds and place them in the deep freezer for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This will allow the popsicles to harden properly.
After 4 hours or the next day, remove the popsicles from the molds and enjoy your homemade, refreshing treats!
If you prefer, you can skip adding sugar and salt altogether, or adjust the amounts according to your taste. This flexibility lets you customize the popsicles to be as sweet or savory as you like.
If the popsicles don’t come out of the mold easily, dip the cold mold briefly in warm water for a few seconds. The warmth will loosen the popsicles, helping them slide out smoothly. Be careful not to leave the mold in the water for more than a few seconds to avoid melting the popsicles.
