Hi welcome to Drinks Tube, I'm Karis- I'm from Lickalix we had make natural ice lollies.
Today I'm going to be showing you how to make a cheery and pomegranate iced Bellini. It's
just like a normaly Bellini, so you have your prosseco or your champagne but instead of
pouring fruit puree into your champagne glass, we're actually going to be making ice lollies
made with fresh fruit. So you need your ice lolly moulds these are the ones I've got,
I just ordered them online- nice and cheap. We're gonna start with our cherries, I have
got 220 g of cherries, already chopped and de-stoned. Now this is where they can run
away, be careful you don't want any on the floor. Once I've got my cherries ready I get
my water, and then we're gonna pour in 40 ml of water. Same again, 40 grams of sugar,
so 40 grams is about 4 heaped teaspoons. Now this mixture is good to whizz. But then remember
to cover, and stand back- especially if you've got a white top on. To me that's looking good.
There is no lumps. So next I'm gonna get back out my mould and get my pomegranate. You need
about a teaspoon of pomegranate. That's about 20 seeds, in each mould. OK, so your pomegranate
seeds are in. You just need to start pouring. Now remember, with any mixture when it goes
into the freezer it expands. So we are going to be filling to about this level, so it's
got about a centimetre at the top to expand. Pour to the line. Make sure you're careful
with the pouring, give it a stir because you want the pomegranate seeds to not sit at the
bottom- you want them to be floating all the way, in all of the lolly. We want to use actual
wooden lolly sticks. Get them online 100 for 1 pound, really cheap- make ice lollies all
year round. To make them stay in the mixture, I'm just going to be a little bit crafty and
make one of these- just plain card, back of a cereal box... whatever. All you have to
do is put it on, you cut around and make holes in the middle of each mould. Then you can
just slot your ice lolly stick through. So you want about an inch and half, 2 inches
of the lolly stick to come out of the top of the cardboard. Now, you also want them
to be straight. Check... straight to you? I think they are straight. Now these just
go in the freezer. OK so you just need to shimmy off your lolly holder device. So i'm
then gonna swish them in the warm water just to loosen it, make sure you get the warm water
all through the gaps. About 3, 4 seconds. OK, give it a wiggle. And Voila! You can start
to see the pomegranates all throughout the lolly. Smells really good. So we're then going
to get our red wine glass, put it in and you're gonna open your prosecco. Whey, perfect. OK,
you're then gonna pour your prosecco over the lolly. Normally you'd tip the glass but
you can let it froth up, just pour slowly. Woo, it's changing colour, it's looking good.
It's turning the prosseco into your iced Bellini. Can you see all the pomegranate seeds? Time
to try it. Mmm, that's good. This is really lovely. The best thing about this, you've
got an iced Bellini drink and you've got a lolly. What could be better? Next time you've
got friends round be sure to give these a try guys- your friends are gonna be super
impressed. If you want a different take on some other ice lollies check out my blackberry
