CREAMY LEMON POPS WITH BASIL
Both refreshing and satisfying, these creamy lemon pops are just the thing for a hot summer day. Steeping the zest in the sugar syrup releases the essential oils, and the fresh lemon zest brightens everything up. Although unexpected, basil's sweetness pairs nicely with lemon, but feel free to experiment with another fresh herb, like bay leaves or thyme. A few fresh raspberries or blueberries would be nice if you'd like a little texture, but the bars are luxurious as is.

Steps:
- Have a 10-pop (1/3 cup each) popsicle mold (or similar size) ready. Using a vegetable peeler, strip the zest of 3 lemons, taking care to leave the white pith behind. Finely grate the zest of the remaining lemon. (Save the remaining lemon juice for other use.)
- In a small saucepan, combine the zest strips, basil leaves, sugar and 1/2 cup water, then heat over medium. Cook, stirring, just until the sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes. Cover and let steep for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Strain the sugar mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large glass measuring cup, pressing the solids to extract all the liquid. Discard the solids.
- Add the cream, milk, salt and the finely grated lemon zest, and stir to combine. Add a few berries to each popsicle mold, if using, then distribute the cream mixture evenly among the molds. Cover and freeze for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, add the popsicle sticks and continue to freeze until solid, at least 8 hours.
- To unmold, briefly dip the mold in hot water a few times just until the pops can be pulled out.
CREAMY LEMONADE ICE POPS
These creamy ice pops are quick to make. I like them on the tart side so I don't use too much sugar but feel free to adjust the sweetness level to your liking.
