A cooling and refreshing dessert to beat the heat. Enjoy these delicious popsicles while the watermelon season lasts. Ginger helps to fight tiredness and loss of appetite during the hot season. Use only fresh coconut and not desiccated. Coconut also provides energy, is rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals. Promotes good skin and hair health.
