Ann’s Tips and Tricks
If you have mouth sores and need to cut down on acidity, instead of the juice of a whole lemon, just add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to lift the taste of the raspberries plus 1 tablespoon of water.
Ice pop trays and molds can be purchased at some grocery stores or any kitchen supply store. Silicone trays are the easiest and most comfortable to handle, particularly if you have any neuropathy in your hands.
