Nat’s Ribenasicles

In my recent support of the Little Britian Block, I’ve discovered, as referenced last week, Ribena, a black currant syrup that Brits have lovingly been adding to their water and seltzer water for many years.

I got a hold of a bottle and haven’t been able to stop thinking of inventive uses for it. I started by adding it to Sprite; then I moved up and added it to sparkling wine to make a sort of Kir Royale spin-off for a few dinner parties.

My most recent discovery is Ribena Popsicles. I’ve long had a love for popsicles, so it was only natural to try to make the thick black current elixir into one.

Mash black berries or blueberries in a bowl. Cover with Ribena. Add three times the amount of water as Ribena. Pour into popsicle molds. Freeze
