CBD Matcha Lemonade… Popsicles?
Pour the mixture into a mold (we like these ones) and let it sit in the freezer for 6-8 hours (overnight is best).
Once they are frozen, take them out of the freezer, letting them sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes. This will make it easier to remove them from the mold.
For easy storage, remove them from the mold and wrap in parchment paper and putting them in a freezer bag. This will help with storage and help keep them longer.
