We would pour two packets of crystals into a large cut glass bowl, (have a little taste), measure out the hot water, stir and stir until all the crystals had dissolved (have a warm tablespoon of syrup) and put it in the fridge for four hours.
The other day I was walking through the supermarket and found a whole new array of flavours. They are in cute little boxes, so colourful and promising so many memories, that I just had to choose a few old favourites and others I was curious about. Lemonade, Creaming Soda, Strawberries and Cream and even one where you can create your own flavour.
Made up in pretty little moulds, they are such a happy dessert full of childish goodness!
oh yes! children used to be so easily pleased back in The Olden Days before ipods and blackberrys, that a slab of thick red jelly at the Coles Daintee Cafe in Bourke St used to be regarded as quite wonderful, and jelly was a birthday party treat:- Frog In The Pond with a Freddo embedded in algael-bloom-green.

Red was my favourite, too. Then green, then yellow.
ReplyDeleteIf you make Frog in the Pond you have to invite me over!
