For a richer flavor, try using a high-quality root beer concentrate. Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. Start with less and add more to taste. To easily remove the popsicles from the molds, run them briefly under warm water.
Revisit your childhood with these nostalgic root beer popsicles. The secret? A touch of extra sugar ensures a delightfully soft bite, mimicking the texture of your favorite store-bought treat. Try it with cream soda for another fantastic flavor experience!
In a wide-bottomed saucepan, gently pour the root beer. (2 minutes)
Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. (5 minutes)
Gradually stir in the sugar until completely dissolved. (3 minutes)
Allow the mixture to simmer, undisturbed, until it has reduced by approximately one-third. This will concentrate the root beer flavor. (15-20 minutes)
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool completely. Patience is key! (About 30 minutes)
Once cooled, stir in the root beer flavoring. (2 minutes)
Carefully pour the mixture into your ice pop molds. (5 minutes)
Freeze until solid, approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until firm.
