How to Store:
In the Popsicle Molds: If you plan to enjoy them within a few days, you can leave the popsicles in the molds, covered with plastic wrap or foil to prevent freezer odors.
In an Airtight Container: Once fully frozen, remove the popsicles from the molds and place them in a single layer in an airtight container. If stacking, separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
