Popsicles and ice creams are two summer classics that are always appealing and never go out of style. Also, now with the number of super-useful tools available to make ice cream at home, we have no excuse. And we can make them as healthy and light as we want.

We can now find the best summer fruits in the markets: peaches, nectarines, plums, watermelons and, of course, melons. All these fruits have the characteristic of being very sweet and very rich in water, which makes them our allies for maintaining a good level of hydration at this time of year.

Ice creams are a summer thing (although if you have them all year we won’t tell anyone!), and making them at home is super easy with Zoku ice cream makers, since in just a few minutes you’ll have your ice cream ready to enjoy. The only thing you need to remember is to keep the ice cream maker in the freezer so it’s nice and cold when you’re ready to use it. Then you can make all kinds of ice creams with them, from horchata or orange juice ice creams to ones as delicious as the one Lola brings us today, from Loleta Life, Food&Market. Will you miss it?
