Watermelon sorbet and lemonade clear popsicles by Dhivya Jose
Sharmilee Jayaprakash, a home chef, blogger and YouTuber (Sharmis Passions) from Coimbatore, pays tribute to the 1980s with a range of popsicles this summer. The ‘80s Classics, as she calls them, consists of rosemilk, vermicelli and paal (milk) ice flavours that defined the 1980s for her. “It was nostalgic for me to revive these flavours in a popsicle,” says Sharmilee.

For those of us who grew up in the 1980s, summer holidays were inextricably linked to ice lollies. The ubiquitous frozen sweet sticks that came in a multitude of flavours and left our tongues numb were the highlight of our childhood. Every street corner had a vendor who sold them in orange, grape, mango and milk flavours, not to mention the occasional chocolate.
