The summer is here. Can you feel it, can you taste it? I am sure you can. I love summer food, so many colors, so many wonderful flavors. Summer days are so hot so we are doing different popsicles every day. I have never made popsicles before, and I really don’t know why. I have seen many variations of these so I figured I try my own, after all, summer weather is here so these are just perfect for the hot days. You don’t need a special recipe for it, just put in your blender any fruits or berries you have and freeze it.

We love mango popsicles and mango with strawberries. I have a few ideas for you what to make, but anything will do, honestly!

This year we started our first little herb garden: lemon mint, rosemary, curry leaves, lemon thyme, fennel, and parsley. Also, we have peaches and red currant. I can not wait to make some jam and syrup using my herbs. Try to make a strawberry syrup with basil and chocolate mint, the best with pancakes and waffles, it’s amazing.
