Directions:

Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth, then force through a fine sieve into a large glass measuring cup. Pour into molds**. Freeze until slushy, about 30 minutes. Insert sticks and freeze overnight.

*Superfine sugar is granulated sugar that has been extremely fine-grained. Make your own by whirling regular granulated sugar in your blender until fine.

**Paper or plastic cups can be used in place of molds. Fill the cup with ice pop mixture. Cover the opening with aluminum foil. Make a slit in the foil and insert the stick.
