How do you make homemade popsicles?

Why do popsicles not freeze solid?
If the water content of the pop is too high, they end up extremely hard – like ice cubes. Sugar and alcohol both help keep this from happening. By lowering the freezing point of the solution, they make the pop softer. Add too much, however, and the popsicle won’t freeze solid enough to stay on the stick.

between 4 and 8 hours
Depending on how thick your popsicles are, it should take anywhere between 4 and 8 hours to freeze solid. For even more perfect pops, turn your freezer as cold as it will go.
