Ais Potong (popsicles)

Remember the days when you could get these at school tuck shop or from the vendor peddling just outside the school gate or in sundry shops located in smaller towns or even at an aunty's/grandma's house if you lived in yesteryear flats (before condominiums). Think my favourite choice would always easily be assam boi!! I also remember getting scolded by my parents for buying these as they were always concern about the cleanliness about the 'water' used.

Anyway (and more importantly) these were really SUPER EASY to make. So easy I feel kind-na embarrassed blogging about it. Plus I had a lot of fun and any young adult can do this.

Tools required:
slim rectangular shaped plastic bags (finally found them at the night market)
funnel
jug

The most difficult choice making these would be choosing the flavour. Because it was a kids party, finally decided on orange mango lassi. The yogurt mixture gives it nice a little creamy finish. You can either blend your own fresh fruit juice or grab a couple of juice cartoons from the cold section. Mix up your blended juice into the jug. Using the funnel, pour the juice about 3/4 or less into the ice cream bag. Do not pour more than that otherwise it will get a little tricky tying the knot at the top without the juice spilling out. Once you are done, all you have to do is freeze them.

Easy right???
Keep them cool in an ice box, just perfect to cool down in hot weathers and after a fierce water balloon skirmish and water gun fight!! ;) Must say I had a pretty stressful week not know whether we would be having good weather or the usual evening down pour. Fortunately things worked out (after praying very hard) - we had the best dry weather for the week!

If you are planning a very adults party, think a frozen ais potong margarita or daiquiri sounds good too?

These slim bags were pretty useful doubling up as gift bags too :)

Think they worked well especially after adding the 'Thank you' gift tag.
