These are a really good thing to have in the freezer over summer: proper fruit ice lollies with no caffeine, so the children can have them too. Rooibos gives a naturally sweet, fruity base, orange juice brings sharpness and colour, and a few strawberry slices frozen into each one look lovely once they are turned out. Far less sugar than the shop-bought kind, and you know exactly what has gone into them.
