Homemade Popcicles - and Sugar Free Raspberry Green Tea Popcicles

Once upon a time in a small town in Iowa in 1973 there was a little blonde haired girl with big blue eyes (that later turned green but that's another story) that was outside walking around her backyard on a hot summer day with a homemade purple Popsicle in her little hand. That little girl was me and the homemade popcicles, courtesy of Tupperware. I don't think you can get them anymore though. 

Well guess who still has those very same popcicle molds? ME! Yeah! Me! The originals, that my mother bought back in 1973 are still in use today. Only today I'm making a sugar free Green Tea popcicle. Ah, the little girl grew up.
